avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. a number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. the s1 subunit of s glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of ibv so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...

infectious bronchitis (ib) disease is one of the important respiratory diseases of poultry that causes annually large economic losses in poultry industry of iran. the aim of this study is molecular characterization of s1 gene of iranian infectious bronchitis viruse (ibv) belonged to 793/b serotype. the whole s1 gene of three local ibv strains in rt-pcr, showed a band above 1600 base pair (bp) i...

Avian infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease that mainly causes respiratory symptoms in poultry. A number of serotypes and variants of the viral agent with poor cross-protection are the major problem to achieve desired immunity from vaccination. The S1 subunit of S glycoprotein (spike) is the major determinant of IBV so that a minor change in amino acid sequence of this...

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...

An in-depth molecular study of infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV) with particular interest in evolutionary aspects of IBV in Spain was carried out in the present study based on the S1 gene molecular characterization of twenty-six Spanish strains isolated over a fourteen-year period. Four genotypes were identified based on S1 gene sequence analyses and phylogenetic studies. A drastic virus popu...

background: 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. objective: to better understand the molecular epide...

Background and Aims: Avian infectious bronchitis (IB) has prevalent in the most chicken farms during recent years, in spite of the IB vaccination program which has been widely performed in Iran. To better understand the molecular epidemiology of IBV in Iran, the full length sequences of S1 gene of Iranian QX IBVs were determined and phylogenetic analysis was done using some sequences of IBV. M...

bluetongue is an infectious disease that primarily affects sheep. but due to serious socioeconomic consequence of it outbreaks on the international trade it has been included in the oie notifiable diseases (list a). during 2007-8, total number of 130 blood samples gathered from suspected sheep to bluetongue disease in seropositive region including khuzestan, kurdistan, fars, ilam and qum provin...
