Download or read book Newcastle Disease written by D. J. Alexander and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1988-08-31 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the chapters of this book were written during 1987 which was the Diamond Jubilee year of the publication of the first reports of Newcastle disease in 1927. During the intervening years the nature of the Poultry Industry throughout the World has changed, or is in the process of changing, dramatically from one based on small village or farm flocks, frequently kept as a sideline, to an industry based on large flocks, sometimes consisting of hundreds of thousands of birds, run by multinational companies. To all these flocks, both large and small, Newcastle disease poses a considerable threat to their well-being and profitability and it is not unreasonable to state that hardly a single commercial flock of poultry is raised in the world without Newcastle disease having some effect due to actual disease, prophylactic vaccination or restrictions placed on rearing, movement, processing, sale or export of birds and products. In addition, recent years have produced developments in virology and associated biological technology which would have been unbelievable when Newcastle disease virus was first isolated. The economic importance of Newcastle disease virus and its use as a laboratory model has meant that major advances have been quickly applied to the field situation whenever possible and, as a result, a much fuller understanding, not only of the biochemistry and basic virology of the virus but also the ecology, epizootiology, antigenicity, immunology and other important aspects in the control of the disease has been achieved.

Download or read book Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease written by Illaria Capua and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-24 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avian Influenza (AI) and Newcastle Disease (ND) are two devastating diseases of poultry, which cause losses to the poultry industry and influence the liveability of rural communities worldwide. Following the H5N1 epidemic they appear to be endemic at least in Asia, Eastern Europe, The Middle East and Africa. Particularly in case of AI outbreaks it is essential that infection is diagnosed promptly and that isolates are made available to the international scientific community. Currently, several organisations including OIE, FAO and the EC have organised training courses in affected areas. However, often these courses do not cover all aspects of AI/ND diagnosis but only certain aspects. This results in fragmented areas of knowledge and in the application of different diagnostic protocols in different parts of the world. The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive approach to AI diagnosis ranging from the clinical elements that should trigger a suspicion in the field, to the post mortem technique, collection of samples, processing/ shipment of specimens, virological, serological and molecular diagnosis and guidelines for notification.

Download or read book Efficacy of Newcastle Disease Virus Vaccines in Broiler Chickens written by Mohammad Showkat Mahmud and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newcastle disease is a highly contagious viral disease affecting many domestic and wild avian species that have severe impact on poultry industry.It can also be transmitted to humans that cause conjunctivitis and flu like symptoms. Effective vaccination of flock is the means to control this disease. This book was to investigate persistence of maternal antibody as well as the comparative efficacy of Avinew and BCRDV vaccines against Newcastle disease in chicks. Birds of groups A and B were primarily and secondarily vaccinated with Avinew and BCRDV respectively at the age of day 3 and 20. Sera samples were obtained from 10 randomly selected birds on each occasion of day 1, 10, 17, 27, 30, 34 and 44 of age of birds. Birds of group C were maintained as unvaccinated control for the determination of existence of maternal antibody. Thus it was indicated that performance of Avinew in respect of elucidation of HI antibody was comparatively better than that of BCRDV and maternal antibody against NDV in chicks persisted to a minimal until the age of day 27 and none at day 30 or 34. This analysis will be useful to professionals working for poultry industry, researcher and vaccine manufacturer.
