ABSTRACT

Highlights • Massachusetts-type is the most prevalent serotype of infectious bronchitis virus worldwide. • Analysis of genomic sequences provides more information about occurrence, origin and evolution. • Pathogenic, non-pathogenic and recombinant Mass-type IBVs are co-existing in chicken flocks in China. • Data of Mass-type from isolates in China can help to explain the emergence of Mass-type IBV.
