Abstract
Infectious bursal disease (IBD), an eco-
nomically important infectiousviral disease of
poultry, is caused by Infectious bursal disease
virus (IBDV). Emergence of very virulent IBDV
(wIBDV) strains in different parts of theworld
including India is demanding furtherresearch
efforts in understanding the added complexity
of the disease processand the means to diagnose
and control it.The IBDV genome is divided into
segments A and B, segment A is about 3.4 kb and
B is about 2.8 kb.Segment B of the bisegmented,
double stranded RNA genome of IBDV encodes
the viral protein VP1. This has been presumed to
represent the RNA dependent RNA polymerase
(RdRp) as it contains motifs that are typical for the
RdRp of positive stand RNA viruses.
