First phylogenetic analysis of new Newcastle virus strain isolates in Algeria
Published:December 22, 2017
Summary
Introduction: Newcastle disease in chicken is caused by an avian paramyovirus serotype 1 (APMV1), it is one of the most economically and prevalent pathology around the world. It was first identified in Java (INDONESIA) in 1926 and 1927 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. However, it may have been prevalent as early as 1898, when a disease wiped out all the domestic fowl in North West Sc...
Good work. We have isolated and characterized APMV-1 genotype VII from poultry in Libya during multiple outbreaks on 2013. A paper was published in Avian Diseases:
Abdulwahab Kammon, Alireza Heidari, Abdunaser Dayhum, Ibrahim Eldaghayes, Monier Sharif, Isabella Monne, Giovanni Cattoli, Abdulatif Asheg , Milad Farhat, and Elforjani Kraim (2015) Characterization of Avian Influenza and Newcastle disease viruses from Poultry in Libya. AVIAN DISEASES 59:422–430.
Genotype VII is now circulation in north Africa.

Dear Profesor, Thank you for your kind comment, i had the opportunity to read your very interesting article about Avian influenza and APMV 1, that remind me of the epidemiological situation here in Algeria, we identified also the G1 like avian influenza LP.
Well done.
I personnelly agree with you about Circulation of APMV Genotype VII in algerian poultry flocks and its huge economic losses.
Dear dr you said in your paper that genotype VII replaces genotype V!!!! May i ask you about the refrence that speaks about existance of genotype V in algerian flocks?
Salutations
Congratulations for this publication.
Do you have any other isolates done in Algeria?
I ask you this question to see the evolution of Algerian strains in a phylogenetic tree.
In advance, thank you for your answer.
