Determining the prevalence of Gumboro virus in chickens raised in farms, households in the Mekong Delta The related factors such as breeds, ages, vaccinated times, raising methods, death chickens… and some clinical symptoms in the suspicious infected flocks were included - Determining the genetic characteristic of the Gumboro virus isolated in the Mekong Delta Comparing the gene encoding VP2 region with the gene bank, commercial vaccine strains, and creating the genetic dendrogram of virus in the field - Surveying the ratio of immune response and the difference in the immune response of three Gumboro vaccines in chicken breeds (Ben Tre “Noi” and Luong Phuong) 1.3 The meaning and practice of thesis Gumboro disease is an acute infectious disease caused by the virus in the poultry (mainly in chicken and turkey), considering as the classical disease of the poultry industry There are many studies on this disease, virus, and preventive vaccines; however, this disease still outbreaks Immunodeficiency significantly affects the preventive efficiency of many vaccination campaigns in chickens as well as increases the sensitivity of chickens to other opportunistic pathogens Some evidence indicated that IBDV infected chicken flocks could become the host to transmitted other pathogenic viruses (Pham Hong Son et al., 2012; Ho Thi Viet Thu, 2012a) Recent reports reveal that IBDV has been one of the important pathogens causing the enormous economic loss for the poultry industry IBDV isolated strains harbor different genotypes and phenotypes to lead the disease complex and difficult in the effective treatment with the vaccine (Nguyen Ba Thanh et al., 2007; Le Thi Kim Xuyen and Le Thanh Hoa, 2008; Ho Thi Viet Thu, 2012a) IBDV’effective prevention contributes to the general health of chicken flocks and decreases economic loss Research for vaccine production based on the sequence of genetic nucleotides from IBDV isolated in the field has been conducted domestically and internationally However, up to now, in the Mekong Delta, the information of decoding the VP2 region in Gumboro virus was still limited Therefore, the nucleotide decryption of Gumboro virus isolated in the field was necessary for determining the pathogenic level, suitable vaccine selection to prevent Gumboro disease in chicken flocks, and increasing the economic efficiency of the poultry industry 1.4 The new of thesis By collecting virus strains causing Gumboro disease in the field of some provinces in the Mekong Delta, comparing the modification of gene sequence, the antigen and pathogenicity, the resource and genetic relationship of virus strains, it helps us to select the suitable vaccine strains to prevent this disease effectively On the other hand, it contributes to set up a reliable scientific basis for developing the preventive strategy against the IBD disease in the Mekong Delta and saving the health of chicken flocks in Vietnam Chapter 2: RESEARCH CONTENTS AND METHODS 2.1 Research contents, research time, and research places 2.1.1 Nội dung nghiên cứu Content 1: Study on the prevalence of chicken Gumboro disease in the Mekong Delta Content 2: Study on the genetic characteristics of Gumboro virus isolated in the Mekong Delta Content 3: Study on the immune response of three Gumboro vaccines selected from the result of Content towards two chicken breeds (Ben Tre “Noi” and Luong Phuong) 2.1.2 Research time: from 10/2015 to 10/2018 2.1.3 Research places Research was carried out in provinces of the Mekong Delta, including Ben Tre, Hau Giang, An Giang, Can Tho, Vinh Long, Tra Vinh About the poultry farming, these provinces have developed both raising methods: industrial chickens in big farms and household chickens They are relatively representative of the poultry production in the Mekong Delta For storage and examination of specimens, chicken sera: Department of Veterinary Medicine, College of Agriculture, Can Tho University For running RT – PCR: Institute of Biotechnology – Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Ha Noi For analyzing the sequence of VP2 genes from Gumboro virus in the field: Macrogen Company, Korea For setting the layout of investigated experiments about the immune response of Gumboro vaccines towards two chicken breeds (Ben Tre “Noi” and Luong Phuong): Dong Thap province 2.2 Research facilities Tools: sample bags, ml syringe, cotton, gloves, distilled tubes, tube racks, cool box, serum tube, micropipete, falcon tube, scissors, lancet Other important facilities: refrigerator, -20oC freezer, -80oC freezer, vortex, balance, UV-VIS spectrometer, centrifuge, PCR thermocycler, electrophoresis box, Gel doc Direct ELISA kit: IBDV Ag Test (originated from belgium) delivered from Thoi Dai Xanh company Indirect ELISA kit: IBDV Ab Test, Thinh A company 2.2.3 Research object 2.2.3.1 Content -

42 days old) The unvaccinated chickens were infected Gumboro disease at the highest rate (66,7%) while the chickens vaccinated times were the least ones (24,5%) In surveyed provinces, chicken flocks got the highest infected rate in Hau Giang (60,0%), and the lowest rate in An Giang (37,9%) The death rate of Gumboro infected chickens was not much high (4,81%) The clinical symptoms were skip eating, moodiness, ruffled feather, drinking much, down head Besides, chickens got watery white-green stools (94,9%), smeared feces on the cloaca (77,9%), dry skin of shanks (76,3%), and the lowest symptom was self-pecking on the cloaca (35,6%) The Gumboro infected chickens showed the characteristic lesions on the organs, especially in Fabricius bursa and muscles The analyzed results of nucleotide and amino acid sequence at the 634-1022 region of the hypervariable region of VP2 gene revealed that the 24 isolated virus strains in the surveyed provinces belonged to the high pathogenicity group These strains were homogeneous with strains of GTG, GTG25, GTN, GT1ST, GPT, GHUT12 isolated in Việt Nam, and strains of HuN11, YS07 originated from China The amino acid of the hypervariable region of VP2 gene from samples of M5, VC2, VC3, VC4 belonged to the attenuated group while VC1 and VC5 were the variant pathogenicity group The immune response of vaccines towards chicken breeds (Ben Tre “Noi”, Luong Phuong) was clarified The passive immune of Luong Phuong chickens was higher than that in Ben Tre “Noi” chickens with 86,6% and 73,3%, respectively The chickens had the highest immune response for the second time (86,6%) and 62,2% for the first time Ben Tre “Noi” chickens showed a high immune response in comparison to Luong Phuong chickens at both 2-time vaccination; however, there was no significant difference All vaccines could cause the immune response to chickens after vaccination At the first vaccinated time, the rate of chickens having the immune response were relatively similar among those vaccines (60,0% – 63,3%) At the second vaccinated time, the imune response had the highest rate with vaccine (93,3%) and the lowest rate with vaccine (80,0%); however, there was not significantly different among those experiments 4.2 Suggestions Farmers should take care of chicken flocks well in each age stage, especially at – weeks old It was necessary to vaccinate for chicken parents to produce passive antibodies for the chicks Vaccine at content was recommended for vaccination because it belongs to the variant virulence group of increasing pathogenicity Further research of the hypervariable region of VP2 gene should be done with the isolated Gumboro virus strains in the field to make the new generation of vaccine which is suitable for the prevalent virus 25 ...
