Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Study of Newcastle Disease Virus Isolates from Recent Outbreaks in Eastern Uganda
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Newcastle disease virus isolates from chickens in eastern Uganda in 2001 were found to be velogenic by fusion protein cleavage site sequence analysis and biological characterization; the intracerebral pathogenicity index was 1.8. Analysis of their hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein gene sequences revealed a novel genotype unrelated to those that caused previous outbreaks.
