AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Seven-week-old chickens vaccinated oronasally with V4 and CT strains of Australian lentogenic strains of NDV were immune to intramuscular challenge with Herts 33 and Texas GB strains of virulent NDV. Vaccination of 1- and 3-week-old chickens with V4 strain by oronasal, conjunctival and drinking water routes using various doses of virus demonstrated that chickens were immune to oronasal challenge with Fontana 1083 strain of virulent NDV except where low doses of vaccine virus were administered. One 6- and 36-week-old chickens vaccinated oronasally with CT strain of virus remained immune to oronasal challenge with Fontana 1083 strain for 9 weeks after vaccination. Immunity was waning at 16 weeks after a single vaccination with CT strain.

Australia experienced outbreaks of virulent Newcastle disease (ND) in chickens in the state of New South Wales in the years 1998, 1999 and 2000. The disease had occurred previously in Australia in 1930 and 1932 but the country was free of it until the recent outbreaks. Avirulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) were detected in 1966 and, during the next two to three decades, strains (so-called lentogenic strains) able to induce mild respiratory disease equivalent to that induced by vaccine strains such as LaSota were also detected.

A monoclonal antibody, AVS-I, was produced from a hybridization of murine myeloma cells and splenocytes from mice immunized with the La Sota strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The hybridoma producing AVS-I, selected from 184 NDV-positive supernatants, is one of two supernatants that reacted exclusively with lentogenic strains in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. AVS-I can also be assayed by hemagglutination-inhibition (HI), which was used to test selected reference avian paramyxovirus (PMV) strains of types 1 to 3.

The strains differed considerably in their reactions. All had mean-death-time indices of 112 or greater, indicating that all were lentogenic.
