Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is the causativeagent of the Newcastle disease (ND), a highly contagiousdisease in birds that causes significant economic losses to thepoultry industry worldwide. ND is endemic in Iran and outbreaksare reported regularly in commercial poultry flocks and differentspecies of birds. OBJECTIVES:The current study was carried outto characterize NDV based on phosphorprotein (P) gene fromrecent outbreaks in Iran, 2010-2012. METHODS: The P genefragment of NDV isolates of five chickens, 1 ostrich, and 1Pigeon paramyxovirus-1 was obtained by RT-PCR and sequenced.RESULTS: Phylogenetic analysis of sequences revealed thatchicken and ostrich NDV isolates were closely related andplaced in the genotype VII and Pigeon Paramyxovirus-1 waslocated in the genotype V. CONCLUSIONS:This is the first reportof Phosphoprotein gene sequences of NDV strains isolated inIran. This study will help us to understand the epidemiology andmolecular characteristics of Newcastle disease virus in Iran.

Molecular Characterization and Phylogenetic Study of Newcastle Disease Viruses Isolated in Iran, 2014–2015

Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious disease that affects many species of birds and causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide and the pathogenicity of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains varies with different virulence. Samples were collected from chicken commercial farms in Iran during 2014–2015. ND virus were characterized (NDV) by partial sequences...

Phylogenetic characterization of the fusion genes of the Newcastle disease viruses isolated in Fars province poultry farms during 2009-2011

Despite routine vaccination programs against Newcastle disease (ND), sporadic cases have occasionally occurred that remain a constant threat to commercial poultry. Ten isolates of Newcastle disease viruses (NDV) from infected broiler chicken cases were obtained from various locations in Fars province during 2009-2011 and genetically analyzed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction...

Molecular characterization of haemagglutinin-neuraminidase gene among virulent Newcastle disease viruses isolated in Iran

Background: Virulent Newcastle disease virus (vNDV) causes great economic losses to the poultry industry throughout the world. Despite the endemicity of Newcastle disease (ND) and occurrence of recurrent outbreaks, the nature and genetic features of circulating NDV strains in Iran are largely unknown. Aims: This study was conducted to characterize 13 NDV isolat...
