Identification of a Genotype VIId Newcastle Disease Virus Isolated from Sansui Sheldrake Ducks in Guizhou Province, China

摘要

In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of a novel Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strain, Sheldrake duck/China/Guizhou/SS1/2014, isolated from Sansui Sheldrake duck flocks in Guizhou Province, southwestern China. The genome of this isolate is 15,192 nucleotides in length, which belongs to NDV genotype VIId in class II. This discovery will help us further study the epidemiology characteristics and molecular pathogenesis of genotype VIId NDV in Sansui Sheldrake ducks.
