Phylogenetic trees (ML trees) of the fusion (F) gene of Ugandan Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates at the nucleotide level. Partial F gene sequences are indicated with a “*” symbol after the strain name. A single representative virus was selected for strains with identical nucleotide sequences: NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU001/2011 was identical to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU004/2011 and NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU005/2011; NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU026/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU028/2011; and NDV/duck/Uganda/MU062/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU063/2011. The F sequences of our Ugandan NDV isolates were compared with A) all full F gene sequences available in GenBank database: 1209 sequences, and B) the reference vaccine strain Lasota, a representative strain for each of the genotype V subgenotypes, and all the East African NDV strains available in the database (indicated with an open circle).
