Infectious Bronchitis Disease (IBV):
Infectious Bronchitis Disease (IBV) is a highly contagious disease that frequently mutates, leading to the emergence of new variants.
IBV vaccination and diagnosis for the most current strategies:
Vaccination based on classical and/or variant strains is widely used in the fight against this disease.
IBV can be diagnosed using 4 main tools: Virus neutralization, HI test, PCR or ELISA.
Each of these tests has its own advantages and limitations.
ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF IBV MONITORING TOOLS
Current limitations encountered
ELISA remains the tool of choice for vaccine monitoring. However, kit performance can be limited for the following reasons:
– The evolution of vaccines, especially live vaccines, to include more and more new variants. These variants are either not detected at all or largely undetectable by commercially available kits.
– Difficulty identifying infection in vaccinated herds.
Our Solution Innovative Diagnostics ID Screen® Infectious Bronchitis Indirect 2.0
Our enhanced ELISA kit addresses the issues mentioned above:
– Using a highly conserved recombinant protein, our new kit enables detection of all available variants (4/91, 793B, Qx, It02, var02, var206, BR1, Is02…).
– It can be used to identify challenge caused by classic strains or variants in vaccinated herds.
