Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the molecular characteristic in S1 gene of nephropathogenic infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) isolated from disease outbreaks in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Five field isolates of IBV were collected from chicken flocks which were suffering from respiratory and nephropathological symptoms and lesions in Chiang Mai province during 2010-2011. After propagation of the viruses in embryonated chicken eggs, 988 base pairs of the S1 gene covering a hypervariable region was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and the purified RT-PCR products were sequenced. The homology and phylogenetic analysis showed that the isolates were grouped into group II Thai IBV, QX-like IBV. S1 gene of the isolates showed nucleotide identity of 99.4100% with each other and 97.3-97.5% with original QXIBV. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that the isolates had 98.8-100% identity with each other and 95-96.9% with original QXIBV. These findings indicated that nephropathogenic IBVs isolated from field outbreaks in Chiang Mai, Thailand during 2010-2011 are the QX-like IBV and they have a minor change in their S1 gene.
