Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is one of the major poultry pathogen circulating around the world. The evolution and mutation of IBV have contributed to the emergence of new genotypes (QX from China and Italy02 from Europe countries). Sequence of complete structural protein from IBS142/2015 isolate in Malaysia was obtained by next-generation sequencing technology. The phylogenetic analysis of complete structural protein and S1 gene elucidated that IBS142/2015 isolate was clustered and shared 92 - 95% identities to QX-like genotype. In addition, the recombination events of IBS142/2015 isolate detected at nucleotide position 1-1587 with major parental sequence derived from SNU8067 strain isolated in Korea (JQ977697) and a minor parental sequence derived from LX4 (QX) strain (AY338732). In brief, the phylogenetic analysis results and viral recombination events of complete structural proteins in IBS142/2015 isolate revealed the circulation of IBV QX-like genotype in Malaysia
