Infectious Bronchitis

Infectious bronchitis (IB) is caused by a specific virus known as infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a member of the Coronavirus genus within the Coronaviridae. Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of chickens. It has worldwide distribution. Several different serotypes of IB virus are known to exist. Although it does indeed cause respiratory disease it also replicates at many non-respiratory epithelial surface, where it may cause pathology e.g. kidney, gonads. Strains of the virus vary in the extent to which they cause pathology in non-respiratory organs.To control the disease live and inactivated vaccines of various serotypes are in use.
