Article Synopsis
- - The avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a rapidly mutating coronavirus that severely impacts the poultry industry, leading to significant economic losses due to its diverse genetic and serological forms.
- - Researchers identified seven main genotypes of IBV, including a newly discovered lineage (GI-30) and two novel ones from Mexico (GVIII-1 and GIX-1), emphasizing the importance of genetic identification for vaccine selection.
- - A study sequenced genomes from these new Mexican IBV lineages, revealing a mix of homogenous and highly variable strains, highlighting the unique diversity and evolutionary dynamics of IBV in that region.
The avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a highly mutable coronavirus that causes an acute and highly contagious disease responsible for economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide. Preventing and controlling bronchitis disease is difficulted by the numerous IBV circulating types with limited antigenic cross-protection that hamper the prevention and control by heterologous vaccines. The coding region of the variable spike S1 receptor-attachment domain is used to classify IBV in 7 genotypes (GI-GVII) comprising 35 viral lineages (1-35).
