Newcastle Disease

Newcastle disease is a viral disease of birds caused by avian paramyxovirus 1 (APMV-1). For official control purposes, this disease is currently defined as the most severe form of the illness, which is caused only by certain viral strains. Many less virulent strains of APMV-1 also circulate among domesticated and wild birds. These viruses usually cause much milder clinical signs or infect birds...

There are ten serotypes of avian paramyxoviruses designated APMV-I to APMV-10 and ND virus (NDV) has been designated APMV-1. NDV has also been categorised into five pathotypes based on clinical signs in infected chickens, designated: a) viscerotropic velogenic, b) neurotropic velogenic, c) mesogenic, d) le...

Thermostable Newcastle Disease Vaccines

Robust vaccines are required to protect village chickens against Newcastle disease. Thermostable vaccines derived from avirulent Australian strains of Newcastle disease virus (strains V4 and I-2) have proved successful for this purpose. These vaccines have been developed through ACIAR projects and have been adopted by other international aid agencies. It is now possible to offer integrated work...
