Newcastle Disease Virus
Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) is a contagious virus that affects birds, with the potential to cause severe illness and mortality. It is classified as an Avian Paramyxovirus (APMV) and can affect many bird species, including chickens, pigeons, and wild birds. The virus is spread through direct contact with respiratory secretions, contaminated environments, and infected birds. Vaccinations can be used to protect chickens, while good biosecurity practices are the best way to prevent the risk of infection. Due to its ability to cause disease in both domestic and wild birds, NDV is considered an economically important virus.
