Viruses exploit molecules on the target membrane as receptors for attachment and entry into
host cells. Thus, receptor expression patterns can define viral tissue tropism and might to …

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infections are initiated by the transmembrane spike (S)
glycoprotein, which binds to host factors and fuses the viral and cell membranes. The N …

For decades, French guinea fowl have been affected by fulminating enteritis of unclear
origin. By using metagenomics, we identified a novel avian gammacoronavirus associated …

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

Guinea fowl coronavirus (GfCoV) causes fulminating enteritis that can result in a daily death
rate of 20% in guinea fowl flocks. Here, we studied GfCoV diversity and evaluated its …

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 …

Infection of chicken coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is initiated by binding of the
viral heavily N-glycosylated attachment protein spike to the alpha-2, 3-linked sialic acid …

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 …

Coronaviruses, which are single stranded, positive sense RNA viruses, are responsible for a
wide variety of existing and emerging diseases in humans and other animals. The …

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