Infectious bursal disease is one of the diseases frequently diagnosed in broilers chickens in _ Iraq depending on pathological changes in the bursa of Fabricius. It is known that maternal antibodies may interfere with the clinical signs, severity of the infection as well as the responsse of chickens to live virus vaccines. Therefore, serological surveys are of value in determining the prevalence of antibodies to this disease. The agar jel precipitation test was used in this survey because of its simplicity and specificity for detecting antigen-antibody reactions. Serum samples were collected from chickens brought to the veterinary hospital in Baghdad. Precipitation lines appeared between positive serum and antigen prepared from infected

     Pigeonpox virus was isolated from severe cases of avipoxvirus infection affecting 64 pigeons in Ba'aquba of Diyala governarate. The virus grew well on chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryos of 11-12 days old, and produced typical pock lesions. Histopathological sections of infected tissue samples revealed typical pox lesions. The virus was identified as Pigeonpox virus using of specific hyper immune serum and indirect immuno-flourescent and indirect immuno-peroxidase tests. The virus agglutinated RBCs of pigeon, fowl, turkey and duck. Experimental infection in pigeons produced moderate infection as compared to the diseased birds, while in chicken the virus produced mild infection.
