Serological survey of wild birds in Australia for the prevalence of antibodies to egg drop syndrome 1976 (EDS‐76) and infectious Bursal disease viruses

Abstract
Serum samples from 11 species of seasonal or sedentary wild water birds in Western Australia were examined for antibodies to viruses endemic in commercial chickens in Australia. Antibodies to two serotypes of infectious bursal disease virus, and to egg drop syndrome 1976 (EDS‐76) virus were demonstrated in these sera.
