Persistence of Very Virulent Infectious Bursal Disease Virus Strains in Algeria Despite Control Efforts
Received Date: Jan 01, 2025 / Published Date: Jan 30, 2025
Abstract
Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD), caused by the Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV), remains a major threat to
the poultry industry worldwide. Despite the implementation of control strategies such as vaccination and biosecurity
measures, very virulent strains (vvIBDV) continue to circulate in Algeria, posing a significant challenge to poultry
production. This study investigates the persistence of vvIBDV strains in Algeria, examining the molecular epidemiology,
vaccination status, and the effectiveness of current control measures. Results indicate that while vaccination programs
have been established, there are signs of immune evasion and incomplete protection, which allow vvIBDV to persist
in the poultry population. The findings suggest a need for improved surveillance, updated vaccine formulations, and
enhanced control practices to curb the spread of vvIBDV in Algeria and similar regions.
