title: Pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (P-group) as the cause of severe outbreaks in fancy Columba livia in Saudi Arabia.
abstract: An avian paramyxovirus-1, which was previously isolated from ailing fancy Columba livia in Saudi Arabia, was characterized in this study using monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). The results indicate that although the virus belongs to the pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PPMV-1) group 'P' still it shows some variation in its binding pattern to the Mabs.
