Classification

This is a description of a vertebrate virus at the species level.

ICTVdB Virus Code: 01.048.1.05.001. Virus accession number: 48105001. Obsolete virus code: 01.048.0.05.001. NCBI Taxon Identifier NCBI Taxonomy ID: 11176.

Name, Synonyms and Lineage

ICTV approved acronym: NDV. Virus is the type of the genus 01.048.1.05. Avulavirus; subfamily 01.048.1. Paramyxovirinae in the family 01.048. Paramyxoviridae; order 01. Mononegavirales.

Virion Properties

Symptoms in the host are well established and the causative agent is determined.

Distinct viral structures are visible in thin sections of infected tissue. Particles contain nucleic acid which is encapsidated.

Virion Properties

Morphology

Virions consist of an envelope, a nucleocapsid, and a core. Virus capsid is enveloped. Capsid/nucleocapsid is elongated with helical symmetry. The nucleocapsid is filamentous.

Nucleic Acid

The genome is not segmented and contains a single molecule of linear negative-sense, single-stranded RNA.

GenBank records for nucleotide sequences; complete genome sequences.

Proteins

Proteins have been identified. Particles are made up of 6-7 proteins.

The viral genome encodes structural proteins, or non-structural proteins. Virions consist of 5 structural protein(s) located in the envelope, membrane, nucleocapsid.

Structural Proteins: Envelope protein HN. Envelope protein has a function assigned; is a surface protein which possess(es) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase acitivity.

Antigenicity

Antigenic determinants may be found on virion surfaces, or envelopes.

Biological Properties

Natural Host

Virus infects during its life cycle a single type of vertebrate host.
Domain
Viral hosts belong to the Domain Eucarya.

Domain Eucarya
Kingdom Animalia.

Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata.

Phylum Vertebrata
Subphylum Vertebrata.

Class Aves.

Ecology, Epidemiology and Control

A fact sheet on this virus is available from the Epidemiology and Disease Control Program in (the U.S.A. in California; Nevada; Arizona).

Taxonomic Proposals and Changes

A taxonomic proposal has been submitted to the ICTV by the Vertebrate Virus Subcommittee, Study Group for Paramyxoviridae at the meeting in Washington, DC, April 2001, to change the position of the taxon. The proposal has been discussed and put to the ICTV members for final approval. The taxon has been designated as Type Species (in the new Genus Avulavirus).
