Resumen:
Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) is the aetiological agent of infectious bursal disease (IBD), animmunosuppressive and highly contagious disease that affects young birds causing importanteconomic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. Currently, vaccination programmes withinactivated and live-attenuated viruses have been used to prevent IBD. However, these vaccinespresent a number of disadvantages, mainly because of their viral nature. Consequently, in the lasttwo decades, many studies have been conducted in order to replace conventional virus-basedvaccines by new, rationally designed vaccines that are safer as well as effective. In this review, wewill present a background on the disease and its causative agent, and focus on the development ofnew generation vaccines against this significant poultry disease.
