Abstract
Pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) is considered as an antigenic variant of Newcastle Disease leading to high mortality and significant economic losses to the poultry industry. However, the pathogenicity of PPMV-1 to chickens is still unclear. Herein, we reported the biological characterization of the isolated PPMV-1 from the diseased pigeons suspected to Newcastle Disease and studied its pathogenicity in SPF chickens. The phylogenetic tree and evolution distances revealed that the new isolate belonged to a VI.2.1.1.2.2 sub-genotype of NDV. Despite the cleavage motif of the F protein containing the 112RRQKR↓F117 sequence associated with virulent NDV strains, and the value of MDT and ICPI of the isolate showing mesogenic characteristics, the challenge trial showed that the isolate had weak pathogenicity to chickens while causing lesions in multiple tissues and organs in pigeons.
