Although the third cluster contained the highest number of samples, it displayed no similarity to any of the reference vaccine strains, and, after comparing them with the sequencing results, we found that the samples in the third cluster were similar to the variant II-like (IS-1494-06) IBV field strain. CONCLUSION: Our developed qRT-PCR/HRM curve analysis was able to detect and rapidly identify novel and vaccine-related IBV strains as confirmed by S1 gene nucleotide sequences, making it a rapid and cost-effective tool. High-resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis is a newly established PCR-based technique that has been used to differentiate related strains of the same animal or avian virus [16] [17] [18] [19] . Those 22 samples, along with the five IBV vaccine reference strains, were subjected to qRT-PCR targeting the S1 gene followed with HRM curve analysis. ./cache/cord-303588-bwllypvq.txt ./txt/cord-303588-bwllypvq.txt
