title: Complete genome sequence of a velogenic newcastle disease virus isolated from an apparently healthy village chicken in South India.
abstract: We report the complete genome sequence of a Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolate, NDV-D1/1998, from an apparently healthy village chicken in South India. This class II, genotype II virus is 15,186 nucleotides in length with unique amino acid variations and was found to be a velogenic pathotype by standard pathogenicity tests.
