Existence of Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus with a European-Prevalent 4/91 Genotype in Japan

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Eight isolates of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) were obtained from various prefectures in Japan during 2003-2007 and were genetically analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) coupled with direct sequencing. These IBV isolates were classified into three genetic groups, including two that have already been reported (JP-I and JP-III). The remaining group is related to the 4/91 (also known as 793/B) type, prevalent mainly in European countries, and has not been identified in Japan until now.
