Studies on Newcastle Disease Virus

1. It is likely that certain tailed and filamentous particles seen on electron microscope examination of partially purified saline suspensions of Newcastle virus are the individual virus particles because: (a) They have a highly characteristic shape not seen in other virus preparations. (b) They are present whenever the virus is present in high concentration. (c) Their size agrees with the size...

Studies on the immunogenic properties of three lentogenic strains of newcastle disease virus

Studies on Newcastle disease virus by the plaque method.

The establishment of a successful plaque method for counting infectious virus particles by Dulbecco (1952), with subsequent refinements by Dulbecco and Vogt (1953, 1954a), makes it possible to quantitatively assay animal viruses with a high degree of accuracy in a manner comparable to assays of bacterial viruses. Two methods of assay commonly used in characterizing any particular Newcastle dise...

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...
