Isolation of infectious bronchitis virus from broiler chickens in Chile
Abstract
An infectious-bronchitis-like virus was isolated from 6-week-old broiler chickens unvaccinated with infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). The isolate produced lesions in embryonating chicken eggs (ECE) and clinical signs in birds characteristic of IBV. Serum-neutralization and agar-gel diffusion tests demonstrated the serological relationship of this isolate to IBV.
