Abstract: | Three avian Paramyxovirus type 1 (aPMV-1) isolated from pigeons during pigeon paramyxovirosis outbreaks were molecularly characterised by sequencing parts of the six genes (NP, P, M, F, HN and L) of each strain. Virulent 99143 isolate was found to be very closely related to non-pathogenic vaccine strains of aPMV-1, even for its F protein cleavage site motif. Strains 99299 and 99106, typical pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (pPMV-1) variants, exhibited between 10% and 20% difference with aPMV-1 at the nucleotide level. The aPMV-1 specific pattern of eight amino acids in the intracellular domain of HN protein was found different by one residue for these two isolates, and might represent a specific pattern for pPMV-1. The unique sequence of the polycistronic P gene editing site of 99299 and 99106 was characterised by four instead of three cytosine residues, and might so have an influence on the expression level of the three proteins encoded by P. This work is also the first to provide molecular data on NP, P and L genes of typical pPMV-1. |
