Abstrakt: Infectious bronchitis caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is an acute, highly contagious and economically important disease of poultry. The disease has remained a serious threat to the world poultry industry since its discovery in 1931. The virus mainly affects the respiratory, renal, and reproductive systems. Multiple serotypes of IBV have emerged due to the high rate of mutation and genetic recombination, which has made it difficult to control the disease. Certain serotypes have disappeared because of the availability and use of vaccines but new serotypes have emerged. A regular watch on the disease including virus variation, prevalence, pathogenesis and development of diagnostic tools are important for the formulation of effective prevention and control programs. This review deals with the global prevalence of IBV along with its pathogenesis, diagnosis, and control. In summary, we have discovered that measures to combat infectious bronchitis is not fully effective and the continued attention of the scientific community and funding agencies can help protect the global poultry industry from this challenge.
