An outbreak of Avian metapneumovirus (AMPV) infection in Guinea fowl is reported in Northern Italy. A subtype B AMPV strain, named aMPV/B/IT/GuineaFowl/1818/12, was isolated and sequenced in F and G genes. Philogenetic analysis showed that the isolate clustered together with other AMPVs of subtype B isolated in Italy from 2001. The factors involved in determining the outbreak are discussed.
