Etiology
Infectious bronchitis (IB) is a highly contagious respiratory disease capable of producing a range of clinical signs in chickens. The disease can vary from asymptomatic to involvement of the respiratory, renal, and reproductive organs. The disease is caused by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a single stranded, RNA, positive sense, enveloped virus and a member of the family Coronaviridae, genus Coronavirus. There are many strains of IBV with considerable variation in the virulence.
