- Title
Infectieuze bronchitis bij kippen en het allereerste effectieve coronavirusvaccin (1939).
- Authors

- Abstract
Following the alarming news in the spring of 2020 on a severe and extremely infectious (mainly) respiratory disease in humans, called COVID19 and caused by a coronavirus, attention was drawn to three important similarities with well-known corona virus infections in domestic animals. They were especially well documented in infectious bronchitis in poultry: (1) extremely rapid propagation, (2) favorized by cold, and (3) good protective effects of live attenuated vaccines. Protection against homologous virus strains was nearly 100%, as had already been demonstrated in 1939. Safety and effectiveness were confirmed by routine mass applications in the next decades. The only drawback was often insufficient protection against infection caused by heterologous strains. The recent introduction and rapid approval for the use in humans of a revolutionary new type of vaccine based on messenger RNA (mRNA), obviated this.
