Abstract
Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates, Adygea/duck/12/2008, from a wild duck in Russia, and Altai/pigeon/777/2010, from a pigeon in Russia. Based on comparative sequence analysis of the F gene, these strains were classified as NDV class II, genotypes VIId and VIb/2, respectively.
Highlights
Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease of birds caused by virulent avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1), known as Newcastle disease virus (NDV) [1]
We report the complete genome sequences of two NDVs: Adygea/duck/12/2008, isolated from a wild duck in the Southern Federal District (Adygea) of Russia in 2008, and Altai/pigeon/777/2010, isolated from a rock dove (Columba livia) from Southern Siberia (Altai Republic) in Russia in 2010
NDVs have been categorized into velogenic, mesogenic, and lentogenic pathotypes according to standard pathogenicity tests [1, 4]
Summary
Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease of birds caused by virulent avian paramyxovirus serotype 1 (APMV-1), known as Newcastle disease virus (NDV) [1]. Antigenic variants of NDV have appeared in pigeons [2] and wild duck [3]. We report the complete genome sequences of two NDVs: Adygea/duck/12/2008, isolated from a wild duck in the Southern Federal District (Adygea) of Russia in 2008, and Altai/pigeon/777/2010, isolated from a rock dove (Columba livia) from Southern Siberia (Altai Republic) in Russia in 2010.
