The Indian poultry industry in spite of exhibiting excellent performance in poultry production and rearing is being put to several challenges in various fronts, particularly in the form of production losses due to several diseases. Considering the reports on the occurrence of avian respiratory diseases suspected for infectious bronchitis (IB) from different parts of Kerala, in the present study, a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT - PCR) was employed for rapid detection of infectious bronchitis virus. Tissue samples from ailing birds of different age groups manifesting respiratory signs which were brought to the Department of Veterinary Microbiology, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Mannuthy during the period from June 2018 to June 2019 for disease investigation were subjected to ribonucleic acid extraction, complementary cDNA synthesis and subsequently RT - PCR. Among 87 samples, 37 were positive for IB.
