Avian paramyxovirus type 4 (APMV-4) has been frequently reported from wildfowl and waterfowl in recent year. However, few studies have reported on the molecular characteristics and regional transmission of APMV-4, knowledge of which is important for understanding the genetic diversity and epidemiology of avian paramyxovirus. Herein, we report the isolation of one APMV-4 strain, designated as QY17, from the duck in eastern China. The determined complete genome of the isolate with six gene segments 3'-N-P-M-F-HN-L-5' was 15,054 nt in length. Genetic analysis of the whole-fusion gene of this isolate showed that QY17 was derived from a Eurasian lineage. Further phylogenetic analysis showed that the duck-origin strain QY17 had a highly genetic relationship with representative APMV-4 strains from wildfowl in neighbouring regions. These genetic results suggested that APMV-4 viral exchange may occur in wildfowl and poultry via wild bird migration.

Pigeon paramyxovirus type-1 (PPMV-1) is the causative agent of pigeon Newcastle disease (ND), which has caused huge losses to the pigeon industry. In this study, a PPMV-1 strain, PPMV-1/QH-01/CH/23, was isolated from a sick racing pigeon in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China in 2023. The mean death time of chicken embryos and the intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) were 76.

Pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) is a significant pathogen affecting pigeon populations globally. The commonly used La Sota vaccine provides limited protection due to antigenic divergence from circulating PPMV-1 strains. An antigenically matched vaccine is needed to address this challenge.

Pigeon Newcastle disease (ND) is the most common viral infectious disease in the pigeon industry, caused by pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1), a variant of chicken-origin Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Previous studies have identified significant amino acid differences between PPMV-1 and chicken-origin NDV at positions 347 and 349 in the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, with PPMV-1 predominantly exhibiting glycine (G) at position 347 and glutamic acid (E) at position 349, while most chicken-origin NDVs show E at position 347 and aspartic acid (D) at position 349. However, the impact of these amino acid substitutions remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers developed a new subunit vaccine using a stabilized mumps fusion glycoprotein (Pre-F) and a chimeric immunogen, which showed strong immune responses in mice against various mumps genotypes.
  • * The study identified specific antibodies against the Pre-F and hemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN), which could neutralize the virus effectively, suggesting these new immunogens could enhance existing vaccine-induced immunity or serve as improved vaccine options.

Pigeon Newcastle disease, caused by pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1), is a significant infectious disease in pigeons that can result in substantial mortality and poses a severe threat to the pigeon industry. The rapid and accurate onsite diagnosis of pigeon disease is crucial for timely diagnosis and the implementation of effective prevention and control measures. In this study, we established a rapid detection method for PPMV-1 based on recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) and CRISPR/Cas12a.
