Avian bronchitis vaccine replicates in cell culture
Researchers at The Pirbright Institute have found it is possible to generate novel vaccines for avian bronchitis that are capable of replicating in cell culture.
Writing in the journal PLOS One, the team outline how a virus generated using reverse genetics was found to offer 100% protection against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), an avian coronavirus that causes major economic losses to poultry industries across the globe.
