A Study On Two Malaysian Isolates Of Infectious Bronchitis Virus

This research was carried out to investigate whether the outbreak of Infectious Bronchitis (18) in Malaysia is due to the vaccine virus or the emergence of a new serotype which is different from the vaccine strains. The study involves the comparison between the two local isolates (PJ41 and PJ43)...
