Abstract

A strain of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) was detected from bursal tissues of chicks which suffered from infectious bursal disease (IBD) in Chinju, Korea and provisionally named as Chinju strain. A full-length cDNA clone for segment A gene of the virus was constructed, and complete nucleotide sequence of the gene including noncoding region was determined and analyzed by comparison with that of other IBDV strains. The segment A gene of Chinju strain consisted of 3,269 nucleotides including 862 adenine (26.4%), 917 cytosine (28.0%), 854 guanine (26.1%) and 636 thymine (19.5%). There were regions for two open reading frames (ORFs), ORF1 encoding the VP5 with ATG codon at nucleotides 98–100 and ORF2 encoding the polyprotein of VP2, VP4 and VP3 in the nucleotides 132–3,170. In deduced translation the ORF2 encoded 1,012 amino acids. The full nucleotide sequence of segment A gene and amino acid sequence of ORF2 of the Chinju strain showed 98–99% homology with those of the very virulent IBDVs (vvIBDVs) such as HK46, OKYM, UK661, UPM97/61, D6948 and BD3/99. In phylogenetic analysis of nucleotide and amino acid sequences, the Chinju strain was also related closely to the vvIBDVs. Hence, it was suggested that the Chinju strain is a vvIBDV. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the Chinju strain with pertinent information can be useful for the development of genetically engineered vaccines and diagnostic reagents against vvIBDV.
