the aim of the present study was using rt-pcr for the diagnosis of avian infectious bronchitis virus and massachusetts serotype in tissue samples. optimization of a molecular diagnostic method for the detection of avian bronchitis virus and identification of massachusetts serotype was investigated. in order to detect infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) in tissue samples, an rt-pcr was optimized. ...

Infectious bronchitis is a disease of the upper respiratory tract chickens caused by Gammacoronavirus (infectious virus, IBV). Severe economic losses are IBV due to reduction in egg production and/or quality layers addition poor feed conversion and increased condemnations broiler chickens. The extreme variability this virus part its RNA genome, which predisposes it mutations generates genetic v...

Background: Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious viral disease which affects the poultry industry. The virus exists in a wide variety of genotypes, and phylogenetic analysis has been used to classify infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains. Aims: The object of the study is a molecular characterization of circulating IBV in Afghanistan as a ...

Rapid detection and differentiation of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) involved in the disease outbreak is very important for controlling disease and developing new vaccines. In the present study, three regions of the genome of IBV vaccine and field isolates including S1 gene, gene 3 and nucleocapsid (N) gene along with 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) were amplified and subjected to restricti...

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 ...

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a very dynamic and evolving virus, causing major economic losses to the global poultry industry. In early 2011, respiratory disease outbreaks were investigated in Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Five IBV isolates (JOA2, JOA4, Saudi-1, Saudi-2, and Iraqi IBV) were detected by diagnostic-nested nucleocapsid RT-PCR. Strain identification was characterised by se...

background: infectious bronchitis is a highly contagious disease which may cause poor weight gain and low feed efficiency in infected chickens. there are a large number of reported serotypes/genotypes, which makes the control of the disease more difficult through vaccination. however, there are only a few amino acid differences in the s1 protein of vaccine and wild type strains which are respon...

Thirteen field isolates of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were isolated from broiler flocks in Thailand between January and June 2008. The 878-bp of the S1 gene covering a hypervariable region was amplified and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis based on that region revealed that these viruses were separated into two groups (I and II). IBV isolates in group I were not related to other IBV stra...

In order to investigate the prevalence and track the genetic evolutions of the circulated infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains and their prevalence in Assiut, Egypt, partial S1 gene amplification and sequencing were done during 2013-2014. Three infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains with the following accession numbers (KR003438, KR003439 and KR003440 respectively) were detected from 21...
