spray treated.
-- At 3, 7, 10 and 14 days post treatment, 25 non-infected and 5 infected
birds were removed and their tracheas swabbed and tested for the
detection and transmission of virus from infected to non-infected birds.
-- It was demonstrated clearly that the QR448(a) treated colony showed a
statistically significant 5.5 fold reduction in transmission of virus at
14 days post-exposure [(P value, less than and/or equal to 0.1) One way
analysis of variance, Student's test] and a non-statistical 3 fold
reduction was observed at 10days post-exposure compared to the colony
that was not treated with QR448(a).
-- Serology, necropsy and clinical observations confirmed that other avian
pathogens and or immune-suppression had not influenced the results and
were consistent with exposure to a non-pathogenic vaccine virus.
-- Since QR448(a) has been shown previously to be effective against
pathogenic isolates of IBV and now against Arkansas vaccine virus, it is
expected that it will also limit transmission of pathogenic IBV in
broilers and thereby decrease the severity of the disease.
