Newcastle disease virus (NDV), or Avian paramyxovirus type 1 (Paramyxoviridae, Avulavirinae: Orthoavulavirus, Newcastle antigenic complex), is the etiological agent of the disease of the same name, causing epizootics with a high mortality rate in bird populations. The NDV genome is represented by single-stranded RNA (15 kb) of negative polarity and is divided into 18 genotypes and a number of subgenotypes, which differ in nucleotide sequences in the genome, virulence level and geographical distribution. The natural reservoir of NDV are wild birds of both aquatic and terrestrial ecological complex. From wild populations, NDV penetrates into poultry populations. The virus is transmitted by droplet-air and oral-fecal route and can be the cause of the disease in humans.
