title: Isolation of an atypical pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 in Poland.
abstract: In this study, a pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) isolated from a flock of ornamental pigeons in Poland in 2010 is described. The PPMV-1/Poland/H2/10 isolate showed the amino acid sequence at the cleavage site of F2/F1 112KRQKRF117 i.e. typical of virulent strains. Despite having the monoclonal antibody binding pattern typical of pigeon variants PPMV-1 (antigenic group "P"), the Polish isolate clustered into genetic sublineage 4a, which is usually associated with PMV-1 isolated from poultry.
