A novel way to create vaccines against infectious bronchitis virus explored by Pirbright scientists
Researchers at The Pirbright Institute have developed a potential vaccine for infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) that could protect chickens from severe disease with just one dose.
IBV is a coronavirus that causes a highly contagious disease in poultry, it results in respiratory symptoms and affects the reproductive tracts of birds. This disease is an economic and welfare concern for the global poultry industry and threatens food security.
