Case Report: Recently a 20-day-old layer flock with mortality has been submitted to the PCR Lab. Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) has been detected in the clinical samples. Results: A phylogenetic tree based on a partial S1 gene sequence showed Iranian IBV variant located in LX4-type cluster. This cluster include all QXIBV-type detected in China and European countries. The highest sequence hom...

Unlike most world areas of massive poultry exploitation, Infectious Bronchitis in New Zealand has not been a threat for broilers or younger birds in rearing. The nature of the local strain of Infectious Bronchitis virus (IBV) has not shown to be as virulent as the classic or variant strains that constantly ravage the poultry industry of North and Latin America, Europe and Asia. No mortality has...

the study was conducted to determine the type, frequency and severity of gross, histopathologic changes, effect of route of infection and also, tissue tropism of serotype 793/b (4/91) infectious bronchitis virus. 20 day-old specific pathogen free chicks were inoculated intra-tracheally and intra-orally with 793/b serotype and lesions studied histopathologically at interval up to 10 days post-in...

Abstract Background and Aims: Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is the causative agent of avian infectious bronchitis, which is characterized by respiratory, reproductive, and renal signs. IBV is a highly variable virus with a large number of genotypes. S1 gene sequencing has been used for molecular epidemiological studies and genotypic characterization of IBV. To better und...

background and aims: adenovirus is one of the causative agents of viral conjunctivitis. approximately an average of 40% of viral conjunctivitis is due to adenovirus infection. the rate of infection is usually the highest during the spring and summer months. in this study attempt was made to evaluate the incidence of conjunctivitis due to adenovirus infection in patients referred to one of the a...

nucleocapsid (n) protein of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), one of the viral structural proteins, inducesstrong antibody response in natural infection. in this study, a simple, recombinant n protein-based dot-blottest was developed to serologically examine chicken serum samples for the presence of ibv antibody.initially, 72 serum samples were tested for the presence of ibv antibody using a c...

objective: garlic is a plant has been used as a flavor, and anti-microbial and anti-diarrheal agent. infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) is a coronavirus. the available vaccines against ibv cannot cover new variants. this study evaluated the inhibitory effects of garlic extract on ibv.  materials and methods: the constituents of garlic extract were detected by gas chromatography. this study was d...

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...
