Sequence Analysis of the L Gene of Newcastle Disease Virus Strain AF2240

Newcastle disease is an avian disease which causes a devastating effect in commercial poultry production. The causative agent for this fatal disease is Newcastle disease virus (NDV) which contains six structural proteins; nucleocapsid (NP). phospho (P). matrix (M), fusion (F). haemagglutinin-neur...
