Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Antibodies in Wild Birds Living in the Open

Andrew Bryan

Contagious bursal complaint contagion (IBDV) is an immunosuppressive pathogen of flesh causing great profitable losses to the flesh assiduity. In this study, the IBDV antibodies were detected in captured free- living wild catcalls in Zaria, Nigeria. One hundred and fifty free- living wild catcalls, comprising 30 catcalls each of 5 different species, were tried over a period of 9 months. Blood samples were collected from each raspberry, and gathered sera were tested for IBDV antibodies using enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay. Results indicated IBDV seroprevalences in freckled chump (6.67) and cattle egret (3.33). In conclusion, the discovery of IBDV antibodies in free- living wild catcalls in this study is reflective of former natural exposure of these catcalls to the contagion. These species of wild catcalls could thus serve as carriers of these contagions and, accordingly, transmit these contagions to cravens.
