Abstract excerpt
Constant monitoring is performed to elucidate the role of natural hosts in the ecology of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). In this study, an NDV strain isolated from an asymptomatic pigeon was sequenced and analysed. Results showed that the full-length genomes of this isolate were 15,198 nucleotides with the gene order of 3'-NP-P-M-F-HN-L-5'. This NDV isolate was lentogenic, with an intracerebral pathogenicity...
