Solution
The correct option is
A
Virus
Gumboro disease is a highly contagious disease of young chickens.
It is also known as infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV).
It leads to loss of appetite, diarrhoea, enlargement of bursa, immunosuppression, and mortality.
The symptoms are mostly seen at 3−6 weeks of age.
Inactivated IBDV vaccines are mainly used as a preventive measure.
