Abstract excerpt
Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a major pathogen impacting the global poultry industry. The QX genotype (GI-19 lineage) of IBV has rapidly spread worldwide and is now the dominant genotype in Asia and Europe. In this study, three QX-type field strains (JS/773, JS/774, and SD/783) were isolated from diseased chicken flocks in eastern China, which had been vaccinated with IBV live attenuated vaccines...
