The study aimed at investigating the possibility use of RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase gene (RdRp) as a target for molecular characterization of IBV strains in Iran. Phylogenetic analysis of RdRp gene sequences resulted in clustering the IBV strains related to each area. Using RdRp, as a genetic marker eliminates the challenges arise from the enormous variations that making difficult the discrimination between field and vaccine strains as well as affiliation of certain variants to various geographical areas. Based on the RT-PCR detection and sequence analysis of IBV RdRp gene, an overall prevalence of field strains estimated as 44.2%. ./cache/cord-341541-3l6tjf3t.txt ./txt/cord-341541-3l6tjf3t.txt
