Resumen:
Important Findings The isolation and molecular characterization of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1) from a sick racing pigeon in Uruguay is reported for the first time. Phylogenetic analysis of the 3´region of the fusion protein (F) gene allowed the isolated virus to be grouped in the lineage VIb/4b, which suggests that it shares the same ecologic niche with other PPMV-1 that were found in the region, and it is not imported as other European or North American viruses.
