Abstract excerpt
A lentogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) with an intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) of 0.36 was derived by the passage of a mesogenic NDV isolate with an original ICPI of 1.04. Animal experiments showed that the original strain caused much severer clinical signs and mortality than the derived strain in chickens. To elucidate the molecular reason for this virulence change, the complete viral...
