Abstract
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a major cause of economic losses in
poultry and can be involved in respiratory disease, nephritis, and both poor egg
production and quality. IBV is still a problem in the poultry industry in India.The
viral genome is under a continuous evolution due to strong point mutation, strong
selective pressure and recombination, these lead to Wide genetic diversity and the
generation of new variants of this virus. Hence, it is important to know the nature
of IBV prevalent in a place to plan the IB control strategy. Complete genome
sequencing of Indian IBV would give a Wider Spectrum of understanding of the
nature of the IBV prevalent in India and this would in turn help to know the nature
of the IBV circulating in India.
