A bronquite infeciosa aviária é uma doença provocada por um vírus extremamente contagioso, pertencente à família Coronaviridae, o coronavírus aviário. Embora o agente etiológico seja conhecido desde 1931, as estratégias de combate desta doença continuam em constante evolução. No decorrer do estágio que precedeu esta dissertação foram acompanhados diversos bandos de frangos de carne, e foram efetuadas colheitas de sangue desses mesmos animais à idade de abate. As amostras colhidas foram posteriormente sujeitas a serologia para pesquisa de anticorpos para o vírus da bronquite infeciosa, e os resultados foram analisados. Em 7 dos 30 bandos em análise, as titulações de anticorpos obtidas foram consideravelmente acima dos valores estipulados pelo fornecedor das vacinais para os títulos vacinais expectáveis em bandos corretamente vacinados. O intuito desta dissertação foi o de avaliar a eficácia do plano vacinal em vigor nos bandos estudados e de testar a possibilidade de circulação de estirpes de campo, para as quais a estirpe vacinal não confere proteção, para que possam ser adotadas medidas de deteção e identificação mais avançadas, de forma a aplicar um plano vacinal mais adaptado às condições de campo atuais.
Avian infectious bronchitis is a disease caused by an extremely contagious virus, belonging to the Coronaviridae family, the avian coronavirus. Although the etiologic agent has been known since 1931, strategies to combat this disease continue to evolve. During the internship that preceded this dissertation, several flocks of meat chickens were monitored, and blood was collected from these same animals at the age of slaughter. The collected samples were subsequently subjected to serology for antibodies to the infectious bronchitis virus, and the results were analyzed. In 7 out of 30 flocks under analysis, the antibody titers obtained were considerably above the values stipulated by the vaccine supplier for the vaccine titers expected in correctly vaccinated flocks. The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the effectiveness of the vaccination plan in force in the studied flocks and to test the possibility of circulation of field strains, for which the vaccine strain does not provide protection, so that more advanced detection and identification measures can be adopted, in order to apply a vaccination plan more adapted to the current field conditions.
