Molecular and Pathological Evaluation of a Velogenic Newcastle Disease Virus Strain Circulating in Vietnam.
The Newcastle disease virus (NDV) poses a major challenge to poultry farming in Vietnam as it continues to threaten both economic and food security. Despite vaccination efforts, outbreaks caused by velogenic NDV strains continue to occur, indicating gaps in our understanding of the pathogenicity of these viruses. In this study, a velogenic NDV strain (genotype VII.2) was isolated from vaccinated chickens during an outbreak in southern Vietnam. Whole genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses confirmed that this isolate belongs to a genotype associated with virulent NDV strains. The strain had an intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) of 1.81 and a mean-death-time (MDT) of 56 hours. Experimental infection of domestic chickens showed a rapid onset of severe clinical signs, extensive tissue damage, and a high mortality rate, even in co-housed, uninfected chickens. Virus excretion via the oral cavity and cloaca of the experimental chickens facilitated rapid transmission within the flock. These results underscore the urgent need for enhanced epidemiological surveillance and tailored vaccination strategies to mitigate the impact of NDV outbreaks in Vietnam. This study provides important insights into the pathogenicity, transmission, and lesion profile of NDV genotype VII.2, contributing to the development of effective control measures.
期刊介绍:
Avian Pathology is the official journal of the World Veterinary Poultry Association and, since its first publication in 1972, has been a leading international journal for poultry disease scientists. It publishes material relevant to the entire field of infectious and non-infectious diseases of poultry and other birds. Accepted manuscripts will contribute novel data of interest to an international readership and will add significantly to knowledge and understanding of diseases, old or new. Subject areas include pathology, diagnosis, detection and characterisation of pathogens, infections of possible zoonotic importance, epidemiology, innate and immune responses, vaccines, gene sequences, genetics in relation to disease and physiological and biochemical changes in response to disease. First and subsequent reports of well-recognized diseases within a country are not acceptable unless they also include substantial new information about the disease or pathogen. Manuscripts on wild or pet birds should describe disease or pathogens in a significant number of birds, recognizing/suggesting serious potential impact on that species or that the disease or pathogen is of demonstrable relevance to poultry. Manuscripts on food-borne microorganisms acquired during or after processing, and those that catalogue the occurrence or properties of microorganisms, are unlikely to be considered for publication in the absence of data linking them to avian disease.
