To the best of our knowledge, this provides the first evidence for recombination leading to replacement of the complete spike gene and the emergence of a novel genotype/serotype with a lower affinity to the respiratory tract in chickens comparing to one of its parental virus ck/CH/LGX/111119. To confirm these recombination breakpoints, three phylogenetic trees were constructed on the basis of the results of similarity plot (SimPlot) analysis for the nucleotide fragments 1-20,265 (5′ untranslated region (UTR) to 3′ end of Gene 1), 20,266-24,151 (3′ end of Gene 1 to 5′ end of Gene 3), and 24,152-27,629 (5′ end of Gene 3 to 3′ UTR), from nine IBV strains, including I0636/16, five strains (LGX/ 111119, CK/CH/GD/GZ14, γCoV/ck/China/I0114/14 (I0114/14), GX-YL9, and GX-YL5) showing close relationships with I0636/16 based on the complete genomic sequence analysis, and three Mass strains (Beaudette, H120, and M41) as an outgroup. ./cache/cord-296611-ma32oz4o.txt ./txt/cord-296611-ma32oz4o.txt
