Genetic and biological characterization of Newcastle disease viruses circulating in Bangladesh during 2010-2017: further genetic diversification of class II genotype XIII in Southcentral Asia.

Abstract excerpt

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is endemic in Bangladesh and is a major threat to commercial poultry operations. While complete fusion (F) genes are recommended for molecular characterization and classification of NDV isolates, heretofore, only partial F gene data have been available for Bangladeshi NDVs. To this end, we obtained the full-length F gene coding sequences of 11 representative NDVs isolated in...
