Abstract

Nucleotide sequence analysis was completed for isolates of Newcastle disease virus (NDV; avian paramyxovirus 1) from 1992 outbreaks in cormorants and turkeys. These isolates were of the neurotropic velogenic type. The cormorant and turkey NDV isolates had the fusion protein cleavage sequence109SRGRRQKR/FVG119, as opposed to the consensus sequence109SGGRRQKR/FIG119 of most known velogenic NDV isolates. The R for G substitution at position 110 may be unique for the cormorant and turkey isolates. For comparative purposes, nucleotide sequencing and analysis of the conserved matrix protein gene coding region were completed for isolates representing all pathotypes. Phylogenetic relationships demonstrated that there are two major groups of NDV isolates. One group includes viruses found in North America and worldwide, such as B1, LaSota, Texas/GB, and Beaudette/C. The second group contains isolates, such as Ulster/2C, Australia/Victoria, and Herts/33, considered exotic to North America. Within this second group are viruses of psittacine origin. The viruses from 1992 outbreaks of Newcastle disease in North America, and an isolate thought to have caused the major outbreak in southern California during the 1970s, are most closely related to an NDV isolate of psittacine origin.
