Genetic differences in susceptibility of chicken lines to infection with infectious bursal disease virus

Mortality rates in 11 inbred and partially inbred chicken lines inoculated with a very virulent strain (CS89) of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) varied considerably, being highest (almost 80%) in a Brown Leghorn line (BrL). Bursa of Fabricius to body weight ratios were depressed in the surviv...
