infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) belongs to the group of gamma coronaviruses along with other avian coronaviruses. the disease caused by ibv can appear similar to infectious laryngotracheitis, avian influenza, and velogenic newcastle disease, which are high priority diseases. the clinical signs can be accompanied by mortalities in broiler chickens and reduced eggshell and albumin quality in la...

background: avian infectious bronchitis (ib), with avianinfectious bronchitis virus (ibv) as the causing agent, is a ubiquitous endemicdisease of the chicken with devastating effects on its industry. a viralmembrane surface protein called s  notonly induces neutralizing antibodies but also plays an important role in virusbinding and entry to host cells. technically, s1 protein gene sequencing a...

background and aims: infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) causes an acute, highly contagious respiratory and kidney disease of chickens which results in significant economic losses in commercial broilers, layers and breeders. rapid identification of ibv serotypes involved in respiratory complex is a problem in the differential diagnosis. materials and methods: in this study, a single and multiplex...

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is prevalent in all countries with an intensive poultry industry, with the incidence of infection approaching 100% in most locations. Vaccination is only partially successful due to the continual emergence of antigenic variants. At many sites, multiple antigenic types are simultaneously present, requiring the application of multiple vaccines. Although many coun...

Background: Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is an infectious viral disease of chickens. The effective protection of chickens against many different infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) variants is not achieved unless the circulating genotypes in the region are identified and the cross-protection of the potential of vaccines in use is assessed. Aims:In a monitoring program of IBVs, a new genotype ...
