Analysis of Amino Acid Changes in the Fusion Protein of Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus from Vaccinated Poultry in Nigerian Isolates

Figure 4

(a) Mutation profile along fusion gene of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Figures show mutational substitution of study isolates in comparison with vaccine strains LaSota KU665482, Komarov KT445901, Muketswar JT950509, Beaudette C JN872154, Hitchner JN872151, R2B JX316216, VG/GA EU289028, Ulster JN872152, F KC987036; Six Nigerian isolates KU058680, HF969167, HF969143, FJ772449, HF969143, HF969175; Togo isolate JX390609; Mali isolate JF966385. Yellow colour-mutations along the Hypervariable region/Signal peptide; red colour-mutations along the A2 antigenic epitope; grey border line-cleavage site region; orange colour-mutation along fusion peptide region; green colour- mutation along the hypervariable region. (b) Mutation profile along fusion gene of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Figures show mutational substitution of the seven Nigerian study isolates in comparison with vaccine strains LaSota KU665482, Komarov KT445901, Muketswar JT950509, Beaudette C JN872154, Hitchner JN872151, R2B JX316216, VG/GA EU289028, Ulster JN872152, F KC987036; Six Nigerian isolates KU058680, HF969167, HF969143, FJ772449, HF969143, HF969175; Togo isolate JX390609; Mali isolate JF966385. Green colour-mutation along the hypervariable region.
