[PMID: 38909507 PMCID: PMC11254719 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
As a highly infectious and contagious pathogen in chickens, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is currently grouped into nine genotypes (GI to GIX). However, the classification of serotypes of IBV is still not clear. In this study, 270 field strains of IBV were isolated from dead or diseased chicken flocks in eastern and southern China during January 2021 to April 2023. These isolated IBV strains could be classified into 2 genotypes, GI (including 5 lineages GI-1, GI-13, GI-19, GI-22, and GI-28) and GVI based on the complete S1 sequence. Further analysis showed that the GI-19, GI-13, GI-22, GI-28, and GVI were the dominant genotypes with the proportions of 61.48, 8.89, 8.89, 7.78, and 8.89% respectively, and the homology of S1 protein of these isolates ranged from 86.85 to 100% in GI-19, 92.22 to 100% in GI-13, 83.1 to 100% in GI-22, 94.81 to 100% in GI-28 and 90.0 to 99.8% in GVI, respectively. Moreover, cross-neutralization test with sera revealed that these isolates in GI-19 lineage could be classified into at least 3 serotypes according to the antigenic relationship. In addition, structure assay using PyMOL indicated that one mutation such as S120 in receptor binding site (RBD) of GI-19 might alter the antigenicity and conformation of S protein of IBV. Overall, our data demonstrate that not only multiple genotypes, but also multiple serotypes in a single genotype or lineage have been co-circulated in eastern and southern China, providing novel insights into the molecular evolution of the antigenicity of IBV and highlighting the significance of the selection of the dominant isolate for vaccine development in IBV endemic region.

A novel highly virulent nephropathogenic QX-like infectious bronchitis virus originating from recombination of GI-13 and GI-19 genotype strains in China. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103881. [PMID: 38865766 PMCID: PMC11223121 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is one of the most widely spread RNA viruses, causing respiratory, renal, and intestinal damage, as well as decreased reproductive performance in hens, leading to significant economic losses in the poultry industry. In this study, a new IBV strain designated as CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 was successfully isolated from the 60-day-old Three-Yellow chicken vaccinated with H120 and QXL87 vaccines. The complete genome sequence analysis revealed that the CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 strain shared a high similarity of 96.7% with the YX10 strain belonging to the GI-19 genotype. Genetic evolution analysis based on the IBV S1 gene showed that the CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 isolate belonged to the GI-19 genotype. Recombination analysis of the virus genome using RDP and Simplot software indicated that CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 was derived from recombination events between the YX10 and 4/91 vaccine strains, which was supported by phylogenetic analysis using gene sequences from the 3 regions. Furthermore, the S1 protein tertiary structure differences were observed between the CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 and the QXL87 and H120 vaccine strains. Pathogenicity studies revealed that the CK/CH/GX/LA/071423 caused death and led to pale and enlarged kidneys with abundant urate deposits, indicative of a nephropathogenic IBV strain. High virus titers were detected in the trachea, kidneys, and cecal tonsils, demonstrating broad tissue tropism. Throughout the experimental period, the virus positive rate in throat swabs of the infected group reached to 100%. These findings highlight the continued predominance of the QX genotype IBV in Guangxi of China and the ongoing evolution of different genotypes through genetic recombination, raising concerns about the efficacy of current IBV vaccines in providing effective protection to poultry.

Abstract
Outbreaks of infectious bronchitis (IB) continue to occur from novel variants of IB virus (IBV) emerging from selection of vaccine subpopulations and/or naturally occurring recombination events. S1 sequencing of Arkansas (Ark) -type viruses obtained from clinical cases in Alabama broilers and backyard chickens shows both Ark Delmarva Poultry Industry (ArkDPI) vaccine subpopulations as well as Ark vaccine viruses showing recombination with other IB vaccine viruses. IB Ark-type isolates AL5, most similar to an ArkDPI vaccine subpopulation selected in chickens, AL4, showing a cluster of three nonsynonymous changes from ArkDPI subpopulations selected in chickens, and AL9, showing recombination with Massachusetts (Mass) -type IBV, were examined for pathogenicity and ability to break through immunity elicited by vaccination with a commercial ArkDPI vaccine. Analysis of predicted S1 protein structures indicated the changes were in regions previously shown to comprise neutralizing epitopes. Thus, they were expected to contribute to immune escape and possibly virulence. Based on clinical signs, viral load, and histopathology, all three isolates caused disease in naïve chickens, although AL9 and AL5 viral loads in trachea were statistically significantly higher (30- and 40-fold) than AL4. S1 gene sequencing confirmed the stability of the relevant changes in the inoculated viruses in the chickens, although virus in some individual chickens exhibited additional S1 changes. A single amino acid deletion in the S1 NTD was identified in some individual chickens. The location of this deletion in the predicted structure of S1 suggested the possibility that it was a compensatory change for the reduced ability of AL4 to replicate in the trachea of naïve chickens. Chickens vaccinated with a commercial ArkDPI vaccine at day of hatch and challenged at 21 days of age showed that vaccination provided incomplete protection against challenge with these viruses. Moreover, based on viral RNA copy numbers in trachea, differences were detected in the ability of the vaccine to protect against these IBV isolates, with the vaccine protecting the most poorly against AL4. These results provide additional evidence supporting that IBV attenuated vaccines, especially ArkDPI vaccines, contribute to perpetuating the problem of IB in commercial chickens.

Abstract
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded, enveloped RNA virus responsible for substantial economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide by causing a highly contagious respiratory disease. The virus can spread quickly through contact, contaminated equipment, aerosols, and personal-to-person contact. We highlight the prevalence and geographic distribution of all nine genotypes, as well as the relevant symptoms and economic impact, by extensively analyzing the current literature. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis was performed using Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA-6), which provided insights into the global molecular diversity and evolution of IBV strains. This review highlights that IBV genotype I (GI) is prevalent worldwide because sporadic cases have been found on many continents. Conversely, GII was identified as a European strain that subsequently dispersed throughout Europe and South America. GIII and GV are predominant in Australia, with very few reports from Asia. GIV, GVIII, and GIX originate from North America. GIV was found to circulate in Asia, and GVII was identified in Europe and China. Geographically, the GVI-1 lineage is thought to be restricted to Asia. This review highlights that IBV still often arises in commercial chicken flocks despite immunization and biosecurity measures because of the ongoing introduction of novel IBV variants and inadequate cross-protection provided by the presently available vaccines. Consequently, IB consistently jeopardizes the ability of the poultry industry to grow and prosper. Identifying these domains will aid in discerning the pathogenicity and prevalence of IBV genotypes, potentially enhancing disease prevention and management tactics.

Molecular Characterization of Complete Genome Sequence of an Avian Coronavirus Identified in a Backyard Chicken from Tanzania. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1852.

Abstract
A complete genome sequence of an avian coronavirus (AvCoV; 27,663 bp excluding 3' poly(A) tail) was determined using nontargeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) of an oropharyngeal swab from a backyard chicken in a live bird market in Arusha, Tanzania. The open reading frames (ORFs) of the Tanzanian strain TZ/CA127/19 are organized as typical of gammaCoVs (Coronaviridae family): 5'UTR-[ORFs 1a/1b encoding replicase complex (Rep1ab) non-structural peptides nsp2-16]-[spike (S) protein]-[ORFs 3a/3b]-[small envelop (E) protein]-[membrane (M) protein]-[ORFs 4a/4c]-[ORFs 5a/5b]-[nucleocapsid (N) protein]-[ORF6b]-3'UTR. The structural (S, E, M and N) and Rep1ab proteins of TZ/CA127/19 contain features typically conserved in AvCoVs, including the cleavage sites and functional motifs in Rep1ab and S. Its genome backbone (non-spike region) is closest to Asian GI-7 and GI-19 infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs) with 87.2-89.7% nucleotide (nt) identities, but it has a S gene closest (98.9% nt identity) to the recombinant strain ck/CN/ahysx-1/16. Its 3a, 3b E and 4c sequences are closest to the duck CoV strain DK/GD/27/14 at 99.43%, 100%, 99.65% and 99.38% nt identities, respectively. Whereas its S gene phylogenetically cluster with North American TCoVs and French guineafowl COVs, all other viral genes group monophyletically with Eurasian GI-7/GI-19 IBVs and Chinese recombinant AvCoVs. Detection of a 4445 nt-long recombinant fragment with breakpoints at positions 19,961 and 24,405 (C- and N-terminus of nsp16 and E, respectively) strongly suggested that TZ/CA127/19 acquired its genome backbone from an LX4-type (GI-19) field strain via recombination with an unknown AvCoV. This is the first report of AvCoV in Tanzania and leaves unanswered the questions of its emergence and the biological significance.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that a prime-boost regime with an infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) Massachusetts (Mass)-type vaccine and recombinant LaSota virus (rLS) coexpressing IBV Arkansas (Ark)-type trimeric spike ectodomain (Se) and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GMCSF) enhances heterologous protection against virulent Ark challenge. This study evaluates protection against Ark-type challenge conferred by administering the rLS/ArkSe.GMCSF and the attenuated Mass viruses mixed in the same vial as a combined vaccine. Chickens were vaccinated at day of hatch and challenged at 21 days of age with virulent Ark. Protection conferred by vaccination was assessed by respiratory signs, tracheal virus isolation as well as IBV RNA quantitation, and tracheal histomorphometry. Protection conferred by the combined vaccine was compared to protection induced by a commercial attenuated ArkDPI (Delmarva Poultry Industry) vaccine as well as by the attenuated Mass vaccine alone. Vaccination with the combined vaccine (rLS/ArkSe.GMCSF + Mass) as well as Mass alone provided significantly less protection against Ark challenge compared to the control using attenuated live ArkDPI vaccine. Only ArkDPI-vaccinated chickens exhibited "sterilizing immunity," i.e., no virus isolated from ≥10% of chickens after challenge. Chickens vaccinated with the combined vaccine rLS/ArkSe.GMCSF + Mass showed significantly less tracheal damage than birds vaccinated with the attenuated Mass vaccine alone. In addition, the combined vaccine also resulted in less virus isolation from the trachea. We concluded that the combined vaccine containing the recombinant virus and the attenuated Mass enhanced the cross-protective ability of the attenuated Mass vaccine against heterologous challenge.

Abstract
Avian infectious bronchitis is a serious and highly contagious disease that is caused by the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). From January 2021 to June 2022, 1008 chicken tissue samples were collected from various regions of southern China, and 15 strains of the IBV were isolated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the strains mainly comprised the QX type, belonging to the same genotype as the currently prevalent LX4 type, and identified four recombination events in the S1 gene, among which lineages GI-13 and GI-19 were most frequently involved in recombination. Further study of seven selected isolates revealed that they caused respiratory symptoms, including coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, and tracheal sounds, accompanied by depression. Inoculation of chicken embryos with the seven isolates resulted in symptoms such as curling, weakness, and bleeding. Immunization of specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens with inactivated isolates produced high antibody levels that neutralized the corresponding strains; however, antibodies produced by vaccine strains were not effective in neutralizing the isolates. No unambiguous association was found between IBV genotypes and serotypes. In summary, a new trend in IBV prevalence has emerged in southern China, and currently available vaccines do not provide protection against the prevalent IBV strains in this region, facilitating the continued spread of IBV.

[PMID: 37215473 PMCID: PMC10196085 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2023.1139089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/19/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a vital pathogen in poultry farms, which can induce respiratory, nephropathogenic, oviduct, proventriculus, and intestinal diseases. Based on the phylogenetic classification of the full-length S1 gene, IBV isolates have been categorized into nine genotypes comprising 38 lineages. GI (GI-1, GI-2, GI-3, GI-4, GI-5, GI-6, GI-7, GI-13, GI-16, GI-18, GI-19, GI-22, GI-28, and GI-29), GVI-1 and GVII-1 have been reported in China in the past 60 years. In this review, a brief history of IBV in China is described, and the current epidemic strains and licensed IBV vaccine strains, as well as IBV prevention and control strategies, are highlighted. In addition, this article presents unique viewpoints and recommendations for a more effective management of IBV. The recombinant Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) vector vaccine expressed S gene of IBV QX-like and 4/91 strains may be the dominant vaccine strains against NDV and IBV.

Abstract
Since 1999, QX-like (GI-19) avian infectious bronchitis viruses have been the predominant strains in China till now. Vaccination is the most effective way to control the disease, while live attenuated vaccine is widely used. In the current research, we evaluated the effect of several monovalent and bivalent live IBV vaccines in young chickens against the QX-like (GI-19) IBV infection. The results showed that monovalent 4/91 and bivalent Ma5+LDT3 vaccines could provide efficient protection in day-old chickens that reduced morbidity and mortality, ameliorated histopathology lesions, and reduced viral loads were observed. These data suggest that vaccination through nasal route with monovalent 4/91 or bivalent Ma5+LDT3 in day-old chickens could serve a safe and effective vaccination strategy for controlling QX-like (GI-19) infectious bronchitis virus.

Abstract
Avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a respiratory pathogen of chickens, resulting in severe economic losses in the poultry industry. This study aimed to monitor and isolate the molecular identity of IBV in broiler flocks with respiratory symptoms in eight provinces of China. In total, 910 samples (oropharyngeal and cloacal mixed swabs) from broiler flocks showed IBV positive rates of 17.6% (160/910) using PCR assay. Phylogenetic analysis of the complete S1 genes of 160 IBV isolates was performed and revealed that QX-type (GI-19), TW-type (GI-7), 4/91-type (GI-13), HN08-type (GI-22),TC07-2-type (GVI-1), and LDT3-type (GI-28) exhibited IBV positive rates of 58.15, 25, 8.12, 1.86, 5.62, and 1.25%. In addition, recombination analyses revealed that the four newly IBV isolates presented different recombination patterns. The CK/CH/JS/YC10-3 isolate likely originated from recombination events between strain YX10 (QX-type) and strain TW2575-98 (TW-type), the pathogenicity of which was assessed, comparing it with strain GZ14 (TW-type) and strain CK/CH/GD/JR07-7 (QX-type). The complete S1 gene data from these isolates indicate that IBV has consistently evolved through genetic recombination or mutation, more likely changing the viral pathogenicity and leading to larger outbreaks in chick populations, in China.

Detection and genetic characterization of novel infectious bronchitis viruses from recent outbreaks in broiler and layer chicken flocks in southern China, 2021. Poult Sci 2022; 101:102082. [PMID: 36041395 PMCID: PMC9449664 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2022.102082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a prevalent RNA virus that causes respiratory distress, nephritis, salpingitis, and egg production decline in chickens, resulting in significant economic loss. IBV is composed of complex genotypes and serotypes, which poses a great challenge for disease control. The current study reports 2 IBV outbreaks which were characterized by respiratory symptoms in IBV vaccinated commercial broilers and layers in Guangdong, China, in 2021. Two IBV strains, ZH01 and HH09, were identified via a RT-PCR assay through targeting the N gene and further characterization through full-length spike (S) gene sequence analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of S1 gene revealed that both ZH01 and HH09 belonged to the GI-19 lineage but contained a certain genetic distance from the GI-19 strain. Of note, the ZH01 and HH09 strains share a low homology of 70 and 86%, respectively, with common vaccine strains (H120), resulting in low vaccine protection. Further recombination analysis based on the S1 sequence suggested the newly identified IBV strains emerged through an intragroup recombination events between CK/CH/SCDY2003-2 and I0305/19 from G1-19 lineage. In addition, a number of novel mutations such as T273I, T292A, and S331K were found in the emerging IBV strains. Taken together, this study reports the genetic characteristics of 2 recent IBV outbreaks in southern China and emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and development of novel vaccines for the control of IBV.

Phillygenin activates PKR/eIF2α pathway and induces stress granule to exert anti-avian infectious bronchitis virus. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 108:108764.

Abstract
The prevalence of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is still one of causes inducing severe losses of production in the poultry industry worldwide. Vaccination does not completely prevent IBV infection and spread due to immune failure and viral mutations. ForsythiaeFructus and its compounds have been widely used in a lot of prescriptions of the traditional Chinese medicine for a long history, and it is well-known as safety and efficiency in heat-clearing and detoxifying. This study aims to investigate the anti-IBV activity and mechanism of phillygenin. The results showed that phillygenin inhibited IBV replication by disturbing multiple stages of the virus life cycle, including viral adsorption, invasion, internalization, and release in Vero cells. After being treated with 100, 125 and 150 μg/mL phillygenin, the expression of G3BP1 was significantly increased and the phosphorylation of PKR/eIF2α was activated, which increased stress granule, thereby triggering the antiviral response in Vero cells. The anti-virus activity of PHI was decreased when G3BP1 was interfered by si-RNA, and G3BP1 was down-regulated when PKR/eIF2α was interfered by si-RNA. In conclusion, our findings indicate that phillygenin activates PKR/eIF2α pathway and induces stress granule formation to exert anti-IBV, which holds promise to develop into a novel anti-IBV drug. Further study in vivo is needed to explore phillygenin as a potential and effective drug to prevent IB in poultry.
