The present invention relates to recombinant MDV1 viruses and the uses thereof. The invention is particularly suited to vaccinate poultry against avian pathogens.

The present invention relates to a recombinant avian herpes virus, which comprises at least two recombinant nucleotide sequences, each recombinant nucleotide sequence encoding a distinct antigenic peptide, wherein the at least two recombinant nucleotide sequences are inserted into distinct non-coding regions of the viral genome chosen among the region located between UL44 and UL45, the region located between UL45 and UL46, the region located between US10 and SORF3, and the region located between SORF3 and US2.

The present invention relates recombinant viruses and the uses thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to novel recombinant Marek's disease viruses encoding polypeptide(s) of interest, and their use to express or deliver such polypeptides to animals, particularly poultry. The invention is particularly suited to vaccinate poultry against avian pathogens.

The present invention relates to a recombinant avian herpes virus, which comprises at least two recombinant nucleotide sequences, each recombinant nucleotide sequence encoding a distinct antigenic peptide, wherein the at least two recombinant nucleotide sequences are inserted into distinct non-coding regions of the viral genome chosen among the region located between UL44 and UL45, the region located between UL45 and UL46, the region located between US10 and SORF3, and the region located between SORF3 and US2.

The present invention regards a new recombinant HVT (rHVT) construct, useful as multivalent vector vaccine for poultry. The rHVT comprises 4 heterologous genes from poultry pathogens: the VP2 gene from IBDV, the F gene from NDV, and the gD and gI genes from ILTV. The VP2 and F genes are inserted in the Us genome region of the rHVT. The gD-gI genes are inserted in the UL genome region, between the UL54 and the LORF3 genes. The new rHVT-VP2-F-gD-gI proved to be genetically stable in vitro and in vivo, and expressed all inserted genes well. Also it was an effective vaccine against severe challenge infections with NDV, IBDV, and ILTV.
