NDVs are classified into
velogenic, mesogenic and lentogenic strains based on their pathogenicity (Beard and Hanson, 1984).
The biologic and genomic evaluation based results proposed that pigeon isolates belonged to genotype VI and sub-genotype 'm' as mesogenic whereas teal/duck was found to have genotype VII and sub-genotype 'i' as
velogenic. Interestingly, when compared with vaccine strain (LaSota), the results of present study showed differences in the antigenic epitopes of fusion and HN proteinsforcurrently circulating ND viruses.
Our approach has several interdependent phases: We will initially analyse the properties of the "V" protein of a highly pathogenic ("
velogenic") genotype VII NDV as an antagonist of interferon induction or the interferon response and compare this with the "V" protein of an apathogenic ("lentogenic") strain.

velogenic Newcastle disease virus in the broiler model.
Detection and differentiation of
velogenic and lentogenic Newcastle disease viruses using SYBR Green I real-time PCR with nucleocapsid gene-specific primers.
Pathogenicity indices such as the mean death time (MDT) in 9-10-day-old embryonated chicken eggs and the intracerebral pathogenicity index (ICPI) in 1-day-old chicks are often used to classify the virus isolates into
velogenic, mesogenic, and lentogenic strains [19].
Viruses with high pathogenicity or
velogenic cause serious disease and mortality among affected birds [2].
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) can be grouped into five pathotypes with respect to tissue tropism and clinical signs, that is to say, (a) viscerotropic
velogenic pathotype and (b) neurotropic
velogenic pathotype.
