Mutations of residues 249 and 256 in VP2 are involved in the replication and virulence of infectious Bursal disease virus.

Mutations of residues 249 and 256 in VP2 are involved in the replication and virulence of infectious Bursal disease virus.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is a pathogen of worldwide significance to the poultry industry. Although the PDE and PFG domains of the capsid protein VP2 contribute significantly to virulence and fitness, the detailed molecular basis for the pathogenicity of IBDV is still not fully understo...
