Newcastle disease virus fusion and haemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene motifs as markers for viral lineage
1 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to generate sequence data for 91 Australian Newcastle disease viruses (NDV) isolated from 1932 to 2000 covering the cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein and the C-terminus of the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein. Comparison of sequences at these two sites indicates distinct evolutionary relationships between these viruses. Typically, HN gene...
