| Summary: | (IBV) is prevalent in many countries with an intensive poultry industry.
The virus has a significant ecOnomic impact in poultry production. In broiler, production losses
are due to poor weight gain, carcass condemnation and mortalily. Whilst in laying chicken, losses
are due to sub-optimal egg production and poor quality eggs. In Malaysia, IBV was first reported
in 1967 and followed by incidence of nephrosis-nephritis syndrome associated with IBV in 1980. In
1995, a prototype MH5365/95 nephropathogenic IBV strain was isolated. The virus has a tropism
towards the epithelial cells. This paper highlighted the ultrastructural pathology of the trachea and
kidney of infected chicken by SEM and TEM. |
