Clinical, pathological, and genotypic analysis of infectious bronchitis virus in broiler chickens in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Infectious Bronchitis (IB), caused by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is a significant contagious respiratory disease in the poultry industry. The emergence of new variants represents a global challenge for the diagnosis and control of the disease. Despite vaccination efforts in poultry farms in the Abu Dhabi Emirate, United Arab Emirates (UAE), outbreaks continue to occur, raising concerns about the efficacy of vaccination protocols and the potential emergence of new viral strains. This study aims to provide information on clinical, pathological, and genotypes of IBV detected within the Abu Dhabi Emirate, during 2022-2023.

Methods

Epidemiological data were collected from twelve suspected IB outbreaks across seven broiler farms located in the Abu Dhabi Emir
