Intracloacal infection with avian infectious bronchitis virus.
An infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strain HS-91 isolated from kidneys of chicks which died of nephrosis was inoculated via the cloaca of specific pathogen-free (SPF) chicks. These chicks showed more severe clinical signs, grosser kidney lesions and higher mortality than chicks inoculated with the same IBV strain via the trachea.
