Complete genome sequence of an avian paramyxovirus type 4 from north america reveals a shorter genome and new genotype.

ABSTRACT: An avian paramyxovirus type 4 (APMV-4) was isolated from a duck in Delaware in 2010. Its genome is 15,048 nucleotides (nt) long, which is shorter by 6 nt than those for all previously reported strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that this strain formed a separate cluster within APMV-4 strains.
