Avian Infectious Bronchitis (IB) is a contagious viral infection in chickens caused by a gamma coronavirus, affecting respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. It poses significant challenges to poultry production, leading to economic losses through increased mortality and reduced growth. The disease is most severe in young chickens, with symptoms including respiratory distress and egg production issues in layers. Control measures include biosecurity and vaccinations.
