Pirbright scientists have edited and authored chapters in a new book titled ‘Coronaviruses’ which provides detailed information about the Coronaviridae family as well as laboratory techniques currently used in the field to study them.
Two new genes have been identified in infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a coronavirus that causes an acute, highly contagious and economically important respiratory disease of poultry. The research, carried out by scientists at The Pirbright Institute, raises the prospect that coronavirus genomes are more complex than previously thought. Understanding more about their basic biology can help to inform future vaccines and therapeutics.
