“…In an epidemiology study of IBV between the years 2010-2014, seven distinct genotypes of Mass, 793/B, IS720, variant-2, QX, IR-I, and IR-II were identified (Hosseini et al, 2015). In years 2014-2015 genotypes variant-2, 4/91, IS/720, QX, IR-1 and Mass were isolated from broiler farms (Najafi et al, 2015). It was suggested in an experimental histological study that 793/B may be a nephropathogenic virus (Mahdavi et al, 2007;Boroomand et al, 2012).…”
