Sporadic Outbreaks of Avian Infectious Bronchitis Viruses Highly Similar to the S95 Live Attenuated Vaccine Strain in Japan: A Comparative Study of Ten Field Isolates and S95
The ten S95-like strains appear not to have emerged from the S95 vaccine strain. Instead, sporadic outbreaks of S95 vaccine-like IBV strains in Japan were indicated. A method for distinguishing and excluding the S95-like wild-type strains as suspected revertants of the S95 vaccine may be utilized for comprehensive IBV surveillance to facilitate development of a vaccination strategy.
