Figure  6From: Pathogenic characteristics of a QX-like infectious bronchitis virus strain SD in chickens exposed at different ages and protective efficacy of combining live homologous and heterologous vaccinationAntibody response in pathogenicity test and ciliostasis scores in vaccine efficacy test. A Antibody response induced by IBV strain SD at 9–16 days post-inoculation (dpi) in chickens inoculated at different ages. Serum with a titre ≥ 834 was considered positive. The numbers in bracket indicate the positive rate for IBV antibody in different groups. NC, not challenged. B ciliostasis scores in the vaccination groups at 7 days post-challenge (dpc) with IBV strain SD.Back to article page
