The occurrence of infectious bursal disease (IBD) in industrial poultry flocks in Cameroon was investigated by serological and virological techniques. Antibody to IBD virus was detected in 118 (33.9%) out of 348 serum samples collected in seven randomly selected areas. On the other hand, virological examination was performed on bursa of Fabricius samples obtained post-mortem from flocks in which there was a high mortality among young birds. This virological examination revealed the presence of IBD virus antigen. These observations confirm the occurrence of infectious bursal disease in Cameronian industrial poultry flocks.
通过血清学和病毒学技术对喀麦隆工业化家禽养殖场传染性法氏囊病（IBD）的发生情况进行了调查。在随机选取的七个地区采集的348份血清样本中，有118份（33.9%）检测到了传染性法氏囊病病毒抗体。另一方面，对从幼鸟死亡率高的鸡群中死后采集的法氏囊样本进行了病毒学检查。该病毒学检查显示存在传染性法氏囊病病毒抗原。这些观察结果证实了喀麦隆工业化家禽养殖场中存在传染性法氏囊病。
