Abstract

We genetically analyzed field isolates of the Newcastle disease (ND) virus isolated in Japan from 1930 to 2001. The coding region of the fusion protein was amplified by reverse transcriptase PCR and directly sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the presence of viruses belonging to six of the eight known genotypes. It can be concluded from this study that ND outbreaks in Japan have been of multiple etiologies. [All sequences used in this study were sent to DDBJ and assigned accession numbers AB 070382 to AB 074042.]

Phylogenetic tree of NDV strains based on nucleotide sequences from a portion (nt 47 to 420) of the F genes. The sequences of the strains from other regions were obtained from GenBank (for the accession numbers, see references , , , , , , and 44). Horizontal distances are proportional to the minimum number of nucleotide differences required to join nodes and sequences. The provisional designations of the genotypes are indicated on the right.
