Previous data on Australian IBDV strains suggests that current biosecurity measures may be inadequate to limit the spread of exotic IBDV among Australian poultry. Through industry consultation, consolidation of historical data, and sample collection and analysis, this project is designed to understand methods that the Australian Poultry Industry can implement to be better prepared to respond to an incursion of vvIBDV, with swift containment and eradication.
