The California (Cal) serotype of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) was isolated from layer flocks in southern California in the early 1980s. Since then, it has spread to the broiler-producing regions of central California, where it has been implicated in respiratory disease outbreaks in vaccinated flocks. Lack of a procedure for quickly identifying IBV serotypes in commercial chicken flocks has prevented the causal association of the IBV Cal serotype with respiratory disease outbreaks. A protein polymorphism has been identified in the matrix protein of the Cal serotype; it appears to be unique among other common serotypes of infectious bronchitis virus found in California. This polymorphism can be identified on western blots using raw or concentrated infectious allantoic fluid as the source material. Identification of the Cal serotype and of serotypes in the Mass and Conn groups can be performed rapidly using field samples from suspect flocks. The identification of this polymorphism provides an alternative method for the rapid identification of the Cal serotype of IBV.

As new SARS-CoV-2 variants continue to emerge and impact communities worldwide, next-generation vaccines that enhance protective mucosal immunity may have a significant impact on productive infection and transmission. We have developed recombinant non-replicating adenovirus serotype 5 (rAd5) vaccines delivered by mucosal administration that express both target antigen and a novel molecular adjuvant within the same cell. Here, we describe the immunogenicity of three unique SARS-CoV-2 rAd5 vaccine candidates and their efficacy following viral challenge in non-human primates (NHPs).

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how periodontal treatment affects the Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans JP2 clone and serum IgG levels related to its outer membrane protein in patients with aggressive periodontitis.
- Seventeen generalized and ten localized aggressive periodontitis patients underwent scaling and root planing with antibiotics while their periodontal health was monitored over one year, noting improvements in probing depth and clinical attachment loss.
- Results showed significant reductions in IgG levels against specific serotypes and the JP2 clone, aligning their levels with those of healthy controls, indicating effective treatment outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have sequenced two complete genomes of the Keystone virus (KEYV) that were isolated from Florida in 2005.
- This analysis includes the first publicly available complete sequences of the virus's large (L) gene.
- The L gene sequences of KEYV show a nucleotide similarity ranging from 75.99% to 83.86% when compared to other viruses in the California (CAL) serogroup of bunyaviruses.
