IBV

infectious bronchitis virus(English)

  • a widespread avian coronavirus, whose control relies mainly on extensive vaccine administration. Unfortunately, the continuous emergence of new vaccine-immunity escaping variants prompts the development of new vaccines. The disease entails remarkable economic losses to the poultry industry by inducing respiratory and reproductive signs, decreased productive performances and increased mortality, particularly when nephropathogenic strains or secondary infections are involved. The etiological agent is a member of the species avian coronavirus, order Nidovirales, suborder Cornidovirineae, family Coronaviridae, subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, genus Gammacoronavirus, subgenus Igacovirus. The viral genome is about 27 kb long and encodes non-structural (such as RdRp and other accessory and regulatory proteins) and structural proteins (i.e., the spike, envelope, membrane, and nucleocapsid)
