Evaluation of antibody titers against infectious bursal disease in backyard chickens

<p Infectious bursal disease (IBD), represents one of the main pathologies that affects backyard poultry populations. Infection is produced by a highly contagious virus that causes significant economic losses, mainly associated with immuno-suppression. The objective of this work was to evalua...

Infection is produced by a highly contagious virus that causes significant economic losses, mainly associated with immuno-suppression. The objective of this work was to evaluate antibody levels in backyard hens of Curuguaty City, Paraguay. Blood samples were obtained from 16 healthy birds, without dis-tinction of sex, age and that did not received vaccination. The serological technique was indirect ELISA. Of the total samples analyzed, 37.5% had antibody titers against IBD. Considering the sex, 100% and 16.3% were reported as positives in males and females, respectively. The largest number of cases was reported in young birds from 3 to 6 months of age. Results show that there are circulating strains of IBD virus in the field. The necessity of the implementation of adequate control programs in order to eradicate the causal agent, is emphasized.p> La enfermedad infecciosa bursal (EIB), representa una de las principales patologías que afecta a las poblaciones avícolas de traspatio. La infección es producida por un virus altamente contagioso que ocasiona importantes pérdidas económicas, principalmente asociada con inmunosupresión. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar niveles de anticuerpos en gallinas de traspatio de la ciudad de Curuguaty, Paraguay. Se obtuvieron muestras de sangre de 16 aves aparentemente sanas, sin distin-ción de sexo ni edad, que no habían recibido vacunación. La técnica serológica utilizada fue ELISA de tipo indirecto. Del total de muestras analizadas un 37,5% presentó títulos de anticuerpos contra la EIB. Considerando el sexo, machos y hembras revelaron 100% y 16,3% de positividad, respectivamente. La mayor cantidad de casos se reportó en aves jóvenes de 3 a 6 meses de edad. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la existencia de cepas circulantes del virus de la EIB a campo, por lo cual es necesaria la implementa-ción de programas de control capaces de erradicar el agente causal.
