Abstract excerpt
As a unique antigenic variant of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in pigeons, genotype VI NDVs cause serious disease in pigeons and pose a potential threat to domestic poultry. In this study, analyses of genetic variation and evolution of global genotype VI NDVs revealed the worldwide distribution and continuous evolution of genotype VI NDVs. Of importance, VI.2.1.1.2.1 and VI.2.1.1.2.2 are the two prevalent...
