Avian paramyxovirus serotype-1 (AMPV1) infects a wide range of avian species leading to broader range of clinical symptoms. The ease of transmission has allowed the virus to spread worldwide with varying degree of virulence depending upon virus strain and host range. Rapid detection is an important step to prevent an outbreak of the disease. The present study was carried out to detect APMV-1 from chicken reared in Kashmir Valley. Out of 12 suspected disease outbreaks, all were positive for AMPV-1. APMV-1 was detected using Matrix Protein gene (M gene) by RT-PCR. Detection by M gene is used for primary screening of the APMV-1 in chicken with both virulent and avirulent forms.
