avian infectious bronchitis vaccine: primordial or derived virus?vaccine formulations of virulent, modified/attenuated, or inactivated mono- or multivalent types of chicken embryo-propagated avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) at different passage levels and administered by non-parenteral routes have been used for immunization of chickens against the disease. two doses of vaccines are generally used: 1) high level virus of lessened virulence, antigenicity and immunogenicity as "derived" from its parental virus via serial passage in and selective adaptatio ...197660263
some immunological aspects of a recent australian isolate of infectious bronchitis virus.an infectious bronchitis virus, designated g48, isolated from birds during an outbreak of nephritis in a previously vaccinated broiler flock, overcame the resistance induced in birds vaccinated with 2 commercially available vaccines. birds vaccinated with the a isolate of infectious bronchitis resisted challenge with this new virus. cross neutralisation studies revealed that the new virus was serologically distinct from the 4 viruses tested. homologous antiserum to g48 did not neutralise the oth ...197662570
in vitro cultivation of cells from the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryos.by treatment of chorioallantoic membranes from embryonated eggs with collagenase and hyaluronidase before the conventional application of trypsin cells could be grown in culture which supported growth of a large variety of myxoviruses, herpesviruses, avian reoviruses and the infectious bronchitis virus of chickens. the cultures could be used for sensitive plaque assays and neutralization tests.1975165393

serological responses of broiler-type chickens, with and without newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis vaccine, to experimental infection with mycoplasma synoviae by foot pad, air sac and aerosol.serum plate (sp) and tube agglutination (ta) reactions and geometric mean mycoplasma synoviae (ms.) hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) titers were determined on chickens infected at 21 days of age with ms. by foot pad, air sac and aerosol. one-half had been given newcastle disease (nd) and infectious bronchitis (ib) vaccine in the water at 20 days of age, and the other half had not been vaccinated with nd and ib vaccine. blood was taken at 3, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after ms. infection. geometric mean hi ...1975168564
two new isolants of infectious bronchitis virus with polyvalent immunogenicity.the immunizing capacity of two new field isolants of avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was tested in vivo. chickens vaccinated with either isolant resisted challenge with 6 serotypes of ibv, including some of the types most commonly isolated from chickens. the two new isolants, identified herein as california "g" and california "s," appear to be immunologically different from each other and from the other 6 types tested. the polyvalent immunogenicity of both g and s is noteworthy, and pote ...1975168851
identification of infectious bronchitis virus by interference with the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus. waxing and waning of interference.the massachusetts and the connecticut types of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were identified by interference in embryonating chicken eggs (ece) with the production of hemagglutinin by the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus (ndv). this interference test appears to be specific because the above interference was eliminated by adding type-specific anti-ibv serum to the ibv-ndv system; however, interference was not detectable when fowlpox virus (fpv) and infectious laryngotracheitis virus (lt ...1975168852
morphological changes of chicken tracheas and tracheal organ cultures infected with avian infectious bronchitis virus studied in scanning electron microscope.chicken tracheas infected in vitro in organ culture and in vivo with avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were studied by scanning electron microscopy. in in vitro infection in organ culture the columnar epithelial cells lining the tracheal ring lost their cilia and rounded up in 48 hr. there were numerous elevations and holes on the infected cell surface. subsequently the cells sloughed off. in in vivo infection the tracheal epithelial cells lost their cilia in 4 days. these cells without ci ...1975169800
serotyping of avian infectious bronchitis viruses by the virus-neutralization test.the antigenic relationships of 12 strains of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were evaluated by a virus-neutralization procedure similar to that used in typing human rhinoviruses. such a procedure consists of reciprocal neutralization tests performed by reacting 32-320 eid50 or plaque-forming units of virus with 20 antibody units of antiserum. eight serologic groups were identified by chicken embryo assay, and 4 by plaque-reduction (90%). in general, serologic groupings were not distinct but re ...1975169804

the use of chicken tracheal organ cultures for the isolation and assay of avian infectious bronchitis virus.a study has been made of the use of chicken tracheal organ cultures for the isolation and assay of avian infectious bronchitis (aib) virus from both naturally and experimentally infected chickens. six strains of aib virus were investigated, 3 of which had been isolated from natural outbreaks of disease. two of the virus isolations from the outbreaks of aib were made directly into tracheal organ cultures without passage in embryonated eggs. organ cultures prepared from 20-day-old embryos were use ...1976176965
identification of seven isolants of infectious bronchitis virus by interference with the b-1 isolant of newcastle disease virus.seven isolants of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) interfered with the development of hemagglutinins (ha) by the b-1 isolant of newcaslte disease virus (ndv) in eggs previously inoculated with these ibv isolants. the i50 [defined as the minimum amount of ibv needed to produce, upon inoculation in embryonating chicken eggs (ece), ha interference in 50% of these ece reioculated 10 hr later with 10(2,41 eid50 (ha) of the b-1 strain of ndv] was less than 1 eid50. the interference was considered spe ...1976176988
new strains of infectious bronchitis virus isolated in maine.twelve ibv isolants from diseased chickens in maine were studied by serum-neutralization tests in chicken tracheal culture. six isolants were neutralized by mass-type antisera. the serum-neutralizing characteristics of six other isolants from vaccine breaks differed from any of the standard ibv viruses and appear to comprise three new strains, maine 209, 212,and 246. the data provide additional evidence that strains of ibv responsible for disease probably vary from region to region and that the ...1976176989
cross-protection studies with a holland strain (noblis h-52) of infectious bronchitis virus. 1976176990
immunity to infectious bronchitis virus from spray vaccination with derivatives of a holland strain.study was made of the protection of chickens from spray vaccination with different modifications of a holland (h) strain of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). noted in each trial were the virus-serum-neutralizing antibody titers induced and the virulence of the vaccine virus at different passage levels. protection against respiratory signs was good from challenge with a homologous virus serotype as well as with 5 heterologous ibv isolates. this occurred from vaccinating day-old chicks possessing ...1976176991
the isolation and some biological properties of a variant avian infectious bronchitis virus.a virus isolated from a respiratory disease in chickens was identified as infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). by serum neutralisation tests the virus was shown to be serologically distinct from the massachusetts type but to possess a one-way relationship with the connecticut type. experimentally, it caused a relatively mild respiratory disease in baby chicks. vaccination of young chicks with h-120 massachusetts ibv vaccine afforded a high degree of protection against challenge with the isolate. s ...1976179183
vaccination and revaccination with a holland (h) strain of infectious bronchitis virus.one-day-old chickens possessing maternally derived immunity to massachusetts-type infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) were vaccinated by the eyedrop route with a holland (h) ibv strain of the massachusetts type. vaccination was done with the 72nd and 92nd passages in chicken embryos. attenuation of the virus was done in the authors' laboratory. four weeks postvaccination the immunity was challenged with 8 different ibv serotypes. a broad spectrum of protection from respiratory signs was obtained i ...1976180959
strains of infectious bronchitis virus on the delmarva peninsula and in arkansas.the constant-virus variable-serum neutralization test in chicken tracheal cultures was used to serotype infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) isolants from the delmarva peninsula and arkansas. of 106 isolants obtained from delmarva in 1971-1974, 93 were found to be the jmk strain, 5 massachusetts (mass), 5 connecticut (conn), 2 a new strain designated maryland (md) 27, and 1 a new strain designated md 31. of 26 isolants obtained from arkansas between october, 1971, and february, 1973, 17 were arkans ...1976180960
variant infectious bronchitis virus isolated from indiana chickens.infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) associated with a catarrhal tracheitis, sudden decline in egg production, and reduced shell quality was isolated from an indiana white leghorn breeder flock. it was found to be serologically different from massachusetts, connecticut, iowa 97, iowa 609, florida, arkansas 99, jmk, holte, gray and se 17 ibv serotypes. two different massachusetts vaccine strains protected chickens from respiratory signs but not against virus infection using the isolant for challenge ...1976181740
local immunity in newcastle disease: some recent experiments.following primary exposure by the ocular route to lentogenic newcastle disease virus (ndv) the lacrymal fluid, saliva and tracheal washes of three-week old specific pathogen free chickens acquired specific virus-neutralizing activity which considerably exceeded transudation of circulating antibody. all three secretions contain iga which, at least in saliva, accounted for 85% of its activity, the remanider being due to igg. antibody in secretions limited, but did not prevent, reinfection of the ...1976182586
the proposed international standard for infectious bronchitis vaccine (live).an h-120 strain of infectious bronchitis virus was prepared in a form suitable to serve as an international standard for infectious bronchitis vaccine (live). accelerated degradation studies carried out on this vaccine showed it to be of suitable stability to serve as a standard. results from a collaborative assay involving ten laboratories demonstrated that the proposed standard reduced the variation in virus titrations both within and between laboratories. this assay also showed that firstly ...1976182587
comparative tests on safety and potency of iba vaccines.during a comparative test on the pathogenicity and immunogenicity of a non-adapted and an embryo-adapted ida virus, following observations were made: 1) the non-adapted virus remained pathogenic as determined by weight loss and bursal lesions. clinical signs and mortality did not occur. a change in the virulence did not occur during back passages; 2) the immunosuppressive effect of the non-adapted virus was diminished by maternal antibodies; 3) the embryo-adapted virus produced little pathogenic ...1976182590
[the influence of infectious bronchitis virus on egg production, fertility, hatchability and mortality rate in chickens (author's transl)].in 35 flocks comprising almost 100,000 white plymouth rock birds producing hatching eggs, infectious bronchitis (ib) caused a decline in production which appeared to be connected with the age of the birds, when the outbreak started (table i). in outbreaks of ib in pullets 3-4 weeks before they are ready to lay there is a considerable risk of delay of production and a generally too low yield (fig 1). egg laying birds, 25-34 weeks of age, suffered a drop in production from 20-80% (on an average 40 ...1976183182
isolation of infectious bronchitis virus from broiler chickens in chile.an infectious-bronchitis-like virus was isolated from 6-week-old broiler chickens unvaccinated with infectious bronchitis virus (ibv). the isolate produced lesions in embryonating chicken eggs (ece) and clinical signs in birds characteristic of ibv. serum-neutralization and agar-gel diffusion tests demonstrated the serological relationship of this isolate to ibv.1976183652
organ culture studies on the efficiency of infection of chicken tissues with avian infectious bronchitis virus.long-term organ cultures of a range of tissues collected from specific pathogen-free chickens were employed to determine their susceptibility, and their capacity for subsequent virus production, following inoculation with avian infectious bronchitis (aib) virus. when inoculated with approximately 2-0 log10 median ciliostatic doses (cd50) of a classical highly egg-adapted vaccine strain (h120) of aib virus, 9 of 23 tissues were shown to be susceptible, namely the nasal turbinates, trachea, air sa ...1976183805
morphogenesis of avian infectious bronchitis virus in primary chick kidney cells.primary chick kidney cells were infected with avian infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and examined by electron microscopy. virus particles entered the cells by viropexis and distinction could be made between engulfment by cell processes (phagocytosis) and entry by micropinocytosis in coated transport vesicles. virus maturation occurred by budding into either the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum or cytoplasmic vacuoles, and evidence was obtained to suggest that the viral surface projections ...1976187144
electron microscope observations on the entry of avian infectious bronchitis virus into susceptible cells.infectious bronchitis virus was observed to enter cells of chicken chorioallantoic membrane by viropexis. there was no support for the suggestion that entry took place by fusion of viral and plasma membranes. the results of electron microscopy showed that virus attachment occurred both at 4 degrees and at 37 degrees c. viropexis was not observed until the preparations were warmed. similar results were obtained using chicken kidney cells. quantitative data obtained from a plaque counting system e ...1976187152
effect of infectious bursal disease on the response of chickens to mycoplasma synoviae, newcastle disease virus, and infectious bronchitis virus.at 35 days of age, chickens which as 1-day-old chicks were inoculated with the infectious bursal disease virus (ibdv) had significantly lower antibody titers against mycoplasma synoviae, newcastle disease virus, and infectious bronchitis virus than did those never inoculated with ibdv. the ibdv also had a marked effect on the development of air-sac lesions. birds infected with ibdv that were later inoculated with m synoviae (day 14), newcastle disease virus (days 14 and 28) experienced an increa ...1977190926
influence of environment on airsacculitis: effects of relative humidity and air temperature on broilers infected with mycoplasma synoviae and infectious bronchitis.mycoplasma synoviae (ms) obtained from broiler chickens condemned for airsacculitis was used to determine the influence of air temperature and relative humidity on the severity of airsacculitis produced experimentally. infectious bronchitis virus was administered to 3-week-old broilers 5 days before aerosol exposure to ms broth cultures, producing extensive airsacculitis within 21-day study periods. high (31-32 c), medium (19-24 c), and low (7-10 c) air temperatures were studied in conjection wi ...1977194567

selection of variants of avian infectious bronchitis virus showing tropism for different organs.avian infectious bronchitis virus strain kagoshima-34 isolated from the kidneys of a chicken that died of nephrosis/nephritis lost its nephropathogenicity during intratracheal passage in spf chickens. the resultant virus acquired stronger respirotropism but reduced tropism for kidneys. on the other hand strain tottori-2 isolated from the trachea of a chicken suffering from severe respiratory disease did not lose its respirotropism after serial intravenous passage in spf chickens. the serological ...19901966427
investigations into resistance of chicken lines to infection with infectious bronchitis virus.although nine inbred and partially inbred lines of chickens were equally susceptible initially to infection with infectious bronchitis virus (ibv), the outcome of that infection varied considerably between the lines. a more detailed study of a line which was resistant (line c) and one which was highly susceptible (line 15i) confirmed that both lines could be infected initially with ibv but showed that the respiratory tract epithelium of line c chicks recovered more rapidly than that of line 15i ...19901966442
safety of temperature sensitive mutant mycoplasma gallisepticum vaccine.a temperature sensitive (ts) vaccine strain designated ts-11 was selected after exposure of a low passage culture of the immunogenic australian field isolate (strain 80083) of mycoplasma gallisepticum to 100 mg/ml of n-methyl-n-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine. viable counts (assayed as colour changing units (ccu)/25 microliters) of a thawed stock culture of ts-11 were typically log10 3 to log10 5 higher when incubated at 33 degrees c (the permissive temperature) than duplicate viable counts incubated a ...19902143067
immune response to oil-emulsion vaccines with single or mixed antigens of newcastle disease, avian influenza, and infectious bronchitis.inactivated newcastle disease virus (ndv), avian influenza virus (aiv), and infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) antigens were evaluated for immunological efficacy in monovalent and polyvalent vaccines. vaccinated broilers were bled for hemagglutination-inhibition (hi) tests at 1- or 2-week intervals. half of the chickens were challenged with the largo isolate of velogenic viscerotropic (vv) ndv at 8 weeks post-vaccination, and the remainder were challenged with the massachusetts 41 strain ibv at 9 ...19902157390
a model for determining immunogenic relationships between avian infectious bronchitis viruses.a model for determining immunogenic relationships between strains of infectious bronchitis virus is described that is based upon the vaccinating dose required to induce prevention of multiplication of a standard challenge dose of an homologous strain in the lungs of specific-pathogen-free chickens. the model has been used to demonstrate that: (1) approximately 100 times the vaccinating dose must be used to produce immunity from one compared with two doses; (2) differences of immunogenicity of gr ...19902162161
detection of infectious bronchitis virus antigen from experimentally infected chickens by indirect immunofluorescent assay with monoclonal antibody.infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) was detected by indirect immunofluorescent assay with a monoclonal antibody (mab-ifa). the monoclonal antibody was specific for the nucleocapsid protein of ibv strain m41. the mab-ifa clearly detected ibv with high specificity in infected chicken kidney cells. the assay furthermore detected ibv in tracheal smears and sliced tracheas from experimentally infected chickens. the positive reaction was found to be longer than that in the virus recovery test. these res ...19902164384
