Nucleotide sequences of the F, L and G protein genes of two non-A/non-B avian pneumoviruses (APV) reveal a novel APV subgroup.

Sequence analysis was performed of all or part of the genes encoding the fusion (F), polymerase (L) and attachment (G) proteins of two French non-A/non-B avian pneumovirus (APV) isolates (Fr/85/1 and Fr/85/2). The two isolates shared at least 99.7% nt and 99.
