The genome of the NDV strain Sterna/Astrakhan/2755/2001 isolated from a wild bird of the Volga River delta in 2001 was completely sequenced. The phylogenetic analysis of the strain investigated and other NDV strains clearly demonstrated that Sterna/Astrakhan/2755/ 2001 belonged to the lineage 5b. Comparative analysis of molecular genetic markers of pathogenicity of strain Sterna/Astrakhan/2755/ 2001 allows its velogenic character to be suggested.
