Development and immunoprotection assessment of novel vaccines for avian infectious bronchitis virus.

ABSTRACT: Infectious bronchitis (IB), a highly contagious acute respiratory disease affecting avian species, poses significant challenges to poultry production. The causative agent, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), exhibits a high mutation rate, leading to limited cross-protection by existing vaccines. This necessitates the development of novel vaccines. This study, based on preliminary investigations conducted by our research team, identified six potential strains (PYG QX1, ZQF QX2, FQH QX3, LYZ QX4, XXX QX5, and CSL strains) for vaccine development. Previous pathogenicity test and serum cross-neutralization experiments conducted in this study have demonstrated that the FQH QX3 strain exhibited the weakest pathogenicity and the broadest spectrum of serum neutralization, while the CSL strain showe
