Avian paramyxoviruses possessing antigenically related HN but distinct M proteins. Brief report.
Antigenic analyses of avian paramyxoviruses Pigeon/Otaru/76 and Dove/Tennessee/75 revealed a new pattern of relationship consisting of related HN and distinct M proteins. We propose the two viruses to be classified into different species.
