Özet

In this study, use and standardization of immunofluorescence technique for the diagnosis of infectious bursal disease (IBD) infection and preparation of the conjugate that will be used in the technique were aimed. Immunized chicken and rabbit sera were labelled with fluorescein isothiocyanate. In the standardization of the conjugate dilution, optimal ratio was determined as 1:16 after the evaluation of smears prepared from the bursa Fabricius of the control and experimentally infected groups. Indirect fluorescent antibody technique was found to be relatively superior to the direct fluorescent antibody technique after the standardization tests. In the field studies, 23 out of 28 (85.13%) IBDV infected broiler flocks were detected to be positive by immunofluorescence technique. As a conclusion, immunofluorescent antibody technique (IFAT) was found to be useful for diagnosis of the IBDV infections.
