Virus strain and age of chicken influenced the transmissibility of lentogenic strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The ability of LaSota, B1, V4, CT, F, and Ulster strains to spread from cages of oronasally inoculated chickens to adjacent cages of susceptible chickens was assessed by virus isolation, serology, and immunity to challenge with virulent NDV. Although all inoculated chickens were immune to challenge, the immunity of contact chickens ranged from 100% for LaSota and CT strains to 0% for Ulster strain. The transmissibility of B1 and V4 strains for chickens 1, 4, 8, and 16 weeks old was assessed by within-cage contact infection, exposure to contaminated food and water containers, and exposure to air from infected chickens. Serology and immunity to challenge with virulent virus were used as criteria. Differences in transmissibility were observed for the strain of virus used, route of exposure, and age of chickens. Care must be used in interpreting the significance of strain differences until the effect of variables can be minimized by further improvements in design of the test procedure.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vectors expressing avian influenza virus (AIV) hemagglutinin of subtype H5 protect specific pathogen-free chickens from Newcastle disease and avian influenza. However, maternal AIV antibodies (AIV-MDA+) are known to interfere with active immunization by influencing vaccine virus replication and gene expression, resulting in inefficient protection. To overcome this disadvantage, we inserted a transgene encoding a truncated soluble hemagglutinin (HA) in addition to the gene encoding membrane-bound HA from highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) H5N1 into lentogenic NDV Clone 30 genome (rNDVsolH5_H5) to overexpress H5 antigen.

Newcastle disease (ND) is perceived to be the major constraint in village chickens of Ethiopia causing huge economic loss. Village chickens are mobile and pass through markets, and live chicken markets are a highly productive source of ND virus replication, maintenance, and spread. However, in northwest of Ethiopia, there is a dearth of information on the role of live chicken markets in the maintenance and spread of ND in the village chickens.

Background And Aim: Mixed infections of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and Newcastle disease virus (NDV) are considered the most distressing problem of the poultry industry. The problem arises due to the influence of a hidden virus on the replication of another suspected virus. Consequently, misdiagnosis of the real cause of disease may become a source of infection for other healthy stock by transmission and dissemination of the hidden virus.
