Article Synopsis
- Newcastle disease (ND) is a significant viral disease affecting poultry in Kerala, India, with previous reports but no comprehensive studies on its prevalence.
- A cross-sectional survey was conducted using real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) to identify ND virus (NDV) presence in both sick and healthy bird populations and determine associated risk factors.
- Out of 2079 samples, 8% tested positive for NDV, with higher infection rates in diseased flocks and commercial broilers, particularly those in intensive housing, highlighting the need for enhanced management practices.
