Funded Activity Summary

Understanding infectious laryngotracheitis virus recombination. This project will study the factors that lead to recombination between strains of infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) concomitant with increased virulence. In previous studies of ILTV, two new genotypes of virulent field strains were shown to be independent recombinants derived from distinct attenuated ILTV commercial vaccines. These strains became the dominant field viruses responsible for widespread and severe disease outbreaks in Australian poultry flocks. This project will enhance understanding of the conditions that led to these deleterious natural recombination events and enable the industry to avoid the emergence of new virulent field strains in the future.
