title: Complete genome sequence of a subgenotype VIId Newcastle disease virus circulating predominantly in chickens in China.
abstract: At least 11 genotypes of class II viruses have been identified since the discovery of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in 1926. Here, we reported the complete genome sequence of a prevalent NDV variant from China, belonging to subgenotype VIId in class II. The similar viruses have been the predominant strains circulating in China for the past decade, which occupied over 80% of Chinese prevalent strains and were phylogenetically different from currently available vaccines.
