A sequence of 375 nucleotides, which included the region encoding the cleavage activation site and signal peptide of the fusion protein gene, was determined for 178 isolates of the pigeon variant strain of Newcastle disease virus (PPMV-1). These were compared with the sequences of 47 similar isolates published by GenBank, which included 30 isolates from pigeons and 17 representatives from each sublineage of avian paramyxovirus type 1. The resulting alignment was analysed phylogenetically using maximum likelihood and the results are presented as unrooted phylogenetic trees. By phylogenetic analysis all the PPMV-1 isolates except one were placed in lineage 4b (VIb). Within this lineage there was considerable genetic heterogeneity, which appears to be predominantly influenced by the date of isolation and, to a lesser extent, geographical origins of the isolates. There were two large distinguishable groups, 4bi and 4bii. The earliest isolate available, PIQPI78442, isolated in 1978 in Iraq, was situated at the node from which the two groups diverge.
