Introduction of a Newcastle disease virus challenge strain (sub-genotype VII.1.1) isolated in Iran.

ABSTRACT: Newcastle disease virus (NDV) sub-genotype VII.1.1 is the most common circulating NDV in Iran. In this study, a velogenic NDV isolate was plaque purified and then characterized according to Office International des Epizooties (OIE) standard protocols. The biological properties of the purified isolate named CH/RT40/IR/2011 were characterized using sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, measurement of pathogenicity indexes and challenge studies. The isolate was plaque purified on chicken embryo fibroblast cells for three rounds and then characterized using molecular and biological approaches. Phylogenetic and evolutionary distance analysis of fusion and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase genes classified the virus in sub-genotype VII.1.1. No mutation was observed in the glycosylation and neutralizin
