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-moment 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.
