Epidemiology and Adaptation• Class I APMV-1 viruses are found primarily in wild birds and

are non-virulent

• Class II viruses are found in wild birds and poultry

• Wild birds (waterfowl) have genotypes I, II, and X as endemic and non-virulent

• Poultry (chickens) have all genotypes. All genotypes except X have virulent (NDV) isolates. Genotypes I and II can be non-virulent or virulent. Other genotypes are virulent and are chicken adapted

• Pigeons (rock doves) have pigeon adapted virulent genotype VI

• Cormorants have cormorant adapted virulent genotype Va

• Spillover between poultry adapted to wild birds and wild bird adapted viruses to poultry occur frequently, but what is consequence?

What is the role of wild bird adapted NDV for poultry?

Conclusions

• Pigeon and cormorant lineage viruses required a high challenge dose to infect chickens

• Did not transmit efficiently to contact birds, even using a high infectious dose.

• Pigeon and cormorant lineage viruses are rarely found in poultry

• Both viruses had ICPI in chickens > 0.7 and a cleavage site compatible with virulent NDV

• Reduced virulence for chickens when the virus was given by a natural route of infection.

California NDV Outbreak Main questions

• Phylogenetic relationships with other NDV

• Side-by-side comparison of related CA02, BE08 viruses

• Susceptibility of young and adult chickens to infection using different infectious dose

• Pathogenesis and shedding dynamics of the viruses and transmissibility to contact chickens

Can we apply all the knowledge obtained to facilitate risk assessment and control effort for the eradication of the CA02 virus?

Conclusions

• All three genotype Vb viruses had similar pathologies in both 3 week and adult birds

• NDV viruses are highly transmissible in chickens

• Because of similarities of viruses we can use data from previous research on CA02 viruses to predict CA18 viruses

• Pigeons can be infected but shed low amounts of virus

• Vaccination programs for broilers are poorly protective for virulent NDV challenge

Conclusions

• The sub-genotype Vc continues to circulate locally only in Mexico• The presence of virus (genotype Vc) commonly isolated from

chickens in wild birds suggests spillover from poultry.

• First detection and complete genome of genotype VIn in pigeons from Mexico. • Our study demonstrates the epidemiological connection between

US and Mexican pigeon-adapted AAvV-1

• MinION could successfully be used for robust and rapid genotyping of NDV• Tree with same topology using 1220pb from MinION and complete

genomes from MiSeq
