Molecular characterization and genotyping of Newcastle disease viruses using whole-genome sequencing from poultry farms in parts of Amhara Regions, and central Ethiopia
This study provides the first whole-genome insight into NDV strains circulating in Ethiopia's poultry industry. The detection of virulent NDV in vaccinated flocks highlights the need for vaccines that are genetically and antigenically matched to circulating strains. Broader genomic surveillance across production systems is essential to guide effective ND control strategies and reduce economic losses.
