Abstract

Avian paramyxoviruses (APMVs) have been evaluated for their potential use as vaccine vectors, sparking research efforts leading to a better understanding of APMVs’ replication and pathogenicity. However, within APMV serotypes, significant genetic diversity exists, and the infectivity of variant strains in mammals has not been studied. We utilized a mouse model to evaluate the pathogenicity of a variant strain of APMV-6 (APMV-6/red-necked stint/Japan/8KS0813/2008) in comparison with the prototype APMV-6 strain (APMV–6/duck/Hong Kong/18/199/1977). Although the two viruses differ substantially, both genetically and antigenically, we found that the variant and prototype strains could similarly replicate in respiratory tissues of infected mice and induce respiratory disease, sometimes resulting in death of the mice. Both viruses induced a humoral immune response that could be clearly detected by ELISA but which was poorly recognized by the hemagglutination inhibition test.
