RECOMBINANT AVIAN ADENOVIRUS VECTOR

摘要

This invention relates to a recombinant vector comprising a recombinant avian adenovirus incorporating, and capable of expression of at least one heterologous nucleotide sequence. The nucleotide sequence is preferably one which encodes an antigenic determinant of infectious bursal disease virus. The invention further relates to a method of production of recombinant vectors, to methods of preparation of vaccines based on the vectors, to administration strategies and to methods of protecting poultry from disease.
