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 p...

objectives the current research aimed to study achillea millefolium and thymus vulgaris antiviral activity against newcastle disease virus (ndv). materials and methods the antiviral activity of the plants was measured by the reduction assay of viral titer, and explained by inhibition percentage (ip). background nowadays natural products such as pure compounds and plant extract scan provide unli...

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a major viral disease in Indonesia. It is an RNA virus belongs to Paramyxovirinae. It is well known that RNA virus is easily to mutate. In some cases, this mutation could generate virulence alteration. It is noted that mutation of NDV which has avirulent amino acid sequence on the cleavage site, could mutate to be virulent Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV). It is needed to...

background and aims: ndv (newcastle disease virus) is one of the viruses that cause disease in avian with severe economic losses in the poultry industry in many countries. fusion protein (f) which plays a major role in the virus pathogenicity contains several regions that have a role in the fusion process. mutation in the sequence of hr1 & hr2 regions of this protein prevents fusion of the viru...

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...

Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important diseases of poultry, negatively affecting poultry production worldwide. The disease is caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV) or avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1), a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Avulavirus, family Paramyxoviridae. Although all NDV isolates characterized to date belong to a single serotype of APMV-1,...

Newcastle disease is one of the main concerns of poultry farmers. Detection of virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has a great impact on control measures against the disease. In this study RT-PCR was optimized in high sensitivity in order to differentiate the virulent from non-virulent NDV isolates directly in tissue homogenates. The vaccinal NDV strain and known field isolates we...

background and aims: newcastle disease virus (ndv) is an avian paramyxovirus (a-pmv 1) and one of the major pathogens in poultries. vaccination is intended to control the disease, nevertheless this virus is a growing threat to the poultry industry. so, early detection of the virus can prevent the spread of illness and avoid huge economic losses. towards this goal, in this research, we developed...

Five strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) were obtained from poultry in Vojvodina, Serbia during the outbreaks in 2006 and 2007. These isolates were confirmed and genotypically characterized by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with primer specific to the viral fusion (F) protein (572bp), and by sequencing of partial F gene for phylogenetic analysis. Phylogenetic anal...
