Specific-pathogen-free sentinel birds were used as an initial biological system to isolate infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) field isolates from commercial broiler farms exhibiting recurrent respiratory problems and poor performance. Reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a 248-bp product encompassing the hypervariable region of the IBDV VP2 gene. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of the RT-PCR products was performed with the restriction endonucleases DraI, SadI, TaqI, StyI, BstNI, and SspI. Two isolates (619 and 850) exhibited a RFLP pattern characteristic of Delaware variant E IBDV. Restriction enzyme digestion for four isolates (625, 849, 853, and 11,153) revealed unmatched RFLP patterns when compared with reference IBDV strains. Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence analyses of the VP2 hypervariable region for these six isolates revealed identity (96.3% up to 98%) with Delaware E variant IBDV strain. However, serine at position 254, which is characteristic of Delaware variant strains, was substituted by asparagine in these six isolates. The seventh IBDV isolate (9109) also exhibited a unique RFLP pattern, which included the SspI restriction site, which is characteristic of very virulent (vv) IBDV strains. Nucleotide and amino acid sequence analyses of the hypervariable region for this isolate revealed identity (90%) with the standard challenge strain. However, the leucine residue at position 294 was substituted by isoleucine. This substitution corresponds to one of the amino acids that are conserved in the vvIBDV strains. Antigenic index studies of the predicted amino acid sequence of the hypervariable region of VP2 from isolates 619, 625, 849, 850, 853, and 11,153 exhibited a profile almost identical to variant E, whereas the isolate 9109 exhibited a profile characteristic of standard IBDV strains.
