Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infection continues to cause economically important diseases in poultry while different geno- and serotypes continue to circulate globally. Two infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV) were isolated from chickens with respiratory disease in Sudan. Sequence analysis of the hypervariable regions of the S1 gene revealed a close relation to the QX-like genotype which has not been detected in Sudan before. Whole genome analysis of IBV/Ck/Sudan/AR251-15/2014 isolate by next generation sequencing revealed a genome size of 27,646 nucleotides harbouring 13 open reading frames: 5'-1a-1b-S-3a-3b-E-M-4b-4c-5a-5b-N-6b-3'. Highest nucleotide sequence identity of 93% for the whole genome was found with the Chinese IBV strain Ck/CH/LHLJ/140906, the Italian IBV isolate ITA/90254/2005 and the 4/91 vaccine strain. Phylogenetic analysis of the S1 gene revealed that the IBV/Ck/Sudan/AR251-15/2014 isolate clustered together with viruses of the GI-19 lineage. Recombination analysis gave evidence for distinct patterns of origin of RNA in the Sudanese isolate in multiple genes. Several sites of recombination were scattered throughout the genome suggesting that the Sudan-QX-like strain emerged as a unique recombinant from multiple recombination events of parental viruses from 4/91, H120 and ITA/90254/2005 genotypes. The Sudanese QX-like isolate is plausibly genetically different from IBV strains previously reported in Africa and elsewhere.

Coronaviruses are characterized by their progeny assembly and budding in the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC). Our previous studies demonstrated that truncation of 9 amino acids in the cytoplasmic tail (CT) of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) spike (S) protein impairs its localization to the ERGIC, resulting in increased expression at the plasma membrane. However, the precise mechanism underlying this phenomenon remained elusive.

infections can be experimentally reproduced after oral inoculation. Co-infections of with other avian pathogens might increase the proportion of broilers with infections. The aim of the study was to examine via which infection route is capable of causing infections and which co-infections exacerbate infections.

Infectious bronchitis (IB), caused by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is a highly contagious chicken disease, causing economic losses worldwide. New IBV strains and variants continue to emerge despite using inactivated and live-attenuated vaccines to prevent or control IB. In this study, the S1 genes of 46 IBV strains, isolated from commercial chicken flocks between 2003 and 2024 in Korea were sequenced and genetically characterized.

Necrotizing soft tissue infections (NTSIs) represent a concept of necrotizing infections involving the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and muscle, and it is a potentially fatal disease. Early exploratory incision is strongly recommended for both the diagnosis and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections. Treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections requires the administration of appropriate antimicrobial agents and adequate surgical debridement.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether RIPK3-mediated programmed cell death can promote the replication and transmission of renal infectious bronchitis virus in renal tubular epithelial cells. Primary renal tubular epithelial cells were extracted from 1 to 7 day old Hy-Line Brown chicks, cultured in vitro by type I collagenase digestion, and infected with 1MOI SX9 strain. Cell samples were collected at 12 hpi, 24 hpi, 36 hpi and 48 hpi for experimental exploration.
