Figure 3

Phylogenetic tree (ML tree) of the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) gene of Ugandan Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates at the nucleotide level. The HN sequences of our Ugandan NDV isolates were compared with relevant virus sequences available in GenBank database: the reference vaccine strain Lasota, all the East African NDV strains available in the database (indicated with an open circle), Ethiopian strains, and a representative strain for each of the genotype V subgenotypes. Partial HN 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/MU007/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU009/2011; NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU026/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU028/2011; NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU059/2011 to NDV/duck/Uganda/MU062/2011 and NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU063/2011; NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU096/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU099/2011 and NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU102/2011; and NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU098/2011 to NDV/chicken/Uganda/MU105/2011.
