Key result
Three infectious bronchitis virus strains isolated from vaccinated chickens in Vietnam belonged to Q1-like, QX-like, and TC07-2-like genotypes, showing high divergence from vaccine strains.
Observational (n=3)
Three strains of infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs), designated VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11, were isolated from diseased/infected chickens in Hanoi, Thainguyen, and Haiphong provinces of Vietnam. These birds had received a live IBV vaccination but still suffered from infectious bronchitis. VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11 harbor cleavage sites (RRTGR, HRRRR, and HRRKR, respectively) within the S protein. A BLASTN search revealed that the S gene of VNUA3, VNUA8, and VNUA11 showed the highest nucleotide identity with those of IBV strains CK/Italy/I2022/13, CK/CH/LHLJ/08-6, and GX-NN120084, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on the S gene nucleotide sequences revealed that VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11 clustered with Q1-like, QX-like and TC07-2-like genotypes, respectively, and were closely related to reference IBV strains from China. However, the Vietnam IBVs showed high divergence from vaccine strains 4/91 and Ma5, which are used in the Vietnamese farms from which the isolates were obtained. Taken together, these results indicate that at least three genotypes of IBV are circulating among chickens in North Vietnam. This is the first report of the molecular epidemiology of IBV in Vietnam.

Le et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Avian Infectious Bronchitis (n=3). Avian Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) infection was evaluated on Genotype characterization based on S gene nucleotide sequences. Three infectious bronchitis virus strains isolated from vaccinated chickens in Vietnam belonged to Q1-like, QX-like, and TC07-2-like genotypes, showing high divergence from vaccine strains.
