Avian coronaviruses of the genus Gammacoronavirus are represented by infectious
bronchitis virus (IBV), the coronavirus of chicken. IBV causes a highly contagious disease …

The infection of the avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is initiated by the
binding of the spike glycoprotein S to sialic acids on the chicken host cell. In this study we …

The binding of viruses to host cells is the first step in determining tropism and pathogenicity.
While avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus (IBV) infection and avian influenza A virus …

The spike protein is the major viral attachment protein of the avian coronavirus infectious
bronchitis virus (IBV) and ultimately determines viral tropism. The S1 subunit of the spike is …

Coronaviruses (CoVs) have a remarkable potential to change tropism. This is particularly
illustrated over the last 15 years by the emergence of two zoonotic CoVs, the severe acute …

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infects ciliated epithelial cells in the chicken respiratory tract.
While some IBV strains replicate locally, others can disseminate to various organs, including …

Avian coronaviruses, including infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), are important respiratory
pathogens of poultry. The heavily glycosylated IBV spike protein is responsible for binding to …

Coronaviruses are well known for their potential to change their host or tissue tropism,
resulting in unpredictable new diseases and changes in pathogenicity; severe acute …

Coronaviruses comprise a large and diverse family of enveloped, positive-stranded RNA
viruses. The Coronaviridae exhibit broad host range, infecting many mammalian and avian …

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), the coronavirus of the chicken (Gallus gallus), is one of the
foremost causes of economic loss within the poultry industry, affecting the performance of …
