The NDV-1 RT-qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Newcastle disease virus class 1 detection by using qPCR. Newcastle disease virus is a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the Avulavirus genus within the Paramyxoviridae family. It is responsible for a contagious disease affecting many domestic and wild avian species and is also transmissible to humans. Newcastle disease is characterized by respiratory, nervous, and digestive system symptoms, which can range from mild to severe, depending on the virulence of the strain and the species of bird affected. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected birds, their droppings, or contaminated equipment and environments. Its effects are most notable in domestic poultry due to their high susceptibility and the potential for severe impacts on the poultry industry. The virus is endemic to many countries. Newcastle disease was first identified in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom, in 1926, and later by Burnet in 1943 in Australia in connection with laboratory infection. Based on phylogenetic analyses, Newcastle disease viruses are classified into two distinct classes, class 1 and class 2. Class 1 strains have been isolated mainly from wild birds and live bird markets and are generally avirulent.
