PMCID: PMC7086922  PMID: 8390829

Summary

Sequencing of parts of the spike, small membrane, and integral membrane protein genes of English isolates of avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) isolated in the 1960s revealed that they were not the direct ancestors of those isolated in the 1980s.

Keywords: Infectious Disease, Sequence Analysis, Membrane Protein, Protein Gene, Bronchitis
