Abstract:

Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is highly contagious and acute, with economically importance disease of poultry. 185 samples including tracheal swab and faecal swab were collected from apparently healthy and infected birds with respiratory disorders. An attempt made to isolate the virus through inoculation of specific pathogen free embryonated egg (SPFEE) as cultural medium. The embryo showing dwarfism were identified and subjected to molecular diagnosis. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to amplify N-Protein and sequenced. Factors responsible for prevalence of IB in desi chicken were studied. Out of 185 samples 7 samples showed dwarfism in SPFEE. 4 out of 7 samples, found positive for IBV by RT-PCR.


Keywords: Infectious Bronchitis, Isolation, Detection, RT-PCR, NP glycoprotein.
