Newcastle disease and its different applicable control options in poultry in Ethiopia

Characterization of Newcastle Disease Virus and poultry-handling practices in live poultry markets, Ethiopia

Newcastle disease represents the most severe poultry disease responsible for marked economic losses in Ethiopia. To provide a molecular characterization of Newcastle disease viruses circulating in this country, a cross sectional survey was conducted at five selected live poultry market sites in Addis Ababa. In addition, baseline data on the live poultry market system were acquired through a det...

Control of Newcastle disease and duck plague in village poultry

A serological survey on the prevalence of antibodies to Newcastle disease virus was carried out in 2 communes of Phu Vang District, Thua Thien Hue Province, Central Vietnam. Villagers in the district keep chickens under either scavenging or enclosed backyard systems. Villages in each commune and households in each village were selected randomly. Approximately 30% of household flocks in each vil...

Complete Genome Sequences of Newcastle Disease Virus Strains Isolated from Three Different Poultry Species in China

In 2000, three Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains were isolated from outbreaks of infection in layers, ducklings, and geese in the same region of China during the same time period. Here, we report their complete genome sequences, which belong to the NDV genotype VIId. This discovery might provide clues as to the evolution of the NDVs of different avian origins.

Participatory control of Newcastle disease in village poultry using thermostable ND vaccines in Uganda

This study proposes to undertake participatory/action research to understand the challenges and limitations that constrain effective Newcastle disease (ND) control among village rural poultry in Uganda. Village poultry is one of those abundant assets for the rural poor in Uganda that could be utilized to eradicate poverty in the country addressing the needs of the underprivileged in society esp...
