Abstract

The comparative histopathology of 2 different strains of infectious bronchitis virus (T and N1/88) in vaccinated hens was studied at 110 wk of age. The Harderian gland showed similar histopathology in T- and N1/88-infected hens. The trachea and kidney of challenged vaccinated hens were protected to a moderate extent, but the oviduct was protected to only a small extent. The severity and persistence of lesions were greater in tubular shell gland, shell gland pouch, and kidney of the T-infected hens, whereas, for the magnum, N1/88 had a greater effect.
