Newcastle disease virus
 NDV also called (avian paramyxovirus type I,
pneumoencephalitis virus & pseudo-fowl pest).
 ND is contagious and fatal viral disease affecting most species
of birds (chickens, turkeys, pigeons ,parrots ,ducks, geese,
quails)and human.
Taxonomy of the NDV :
 Family: Paramyxoviridae.
 Subfamily: Paramyxovirinae.
 Genus: Avulavirus.
Characteristics:
 Spherical virus with diameter of 100-300 nm.
 Enveloped virus (containing lipid, CHO & protein).
 It has segmented & single stranded negative sense RNA.
 Two specific virus proteins (hemagglutinin-neuraminidase &
fusion protein) are the main proteins found in the outer coat
of the virus.
 Replication occurs in the cytoplasm of the host cell.
 Affected species; birds & human.
 Morbidity; Up to100% & Mortality; 90%.
Fig1; Diagrammatic representation of Newcastle disease virus.
Inactivation of the virus:
 Minimum core temperature of 80°C for one minute, 75°C for 5
minutes or 70°C for 30 minutes - completely destroys the virus
in meat.
 Ether sensitive and inactivated by formalin, phenol & acid pH.
 Destroyed rapidly by dehydration and ultraviolet rays.
CPE of NDV:
 Syncytia formation.
 Production of inclusion bodies.
 Haemadsorption of G.pig RBCs by infected cell culture.
Haemagglutination:
 All strains of NDV agglutinate (Chicken, G.pig, human group
O)RBCs.
 Most strains agglutinate (OX & sheep)RBCs.
 Horse RBCs agglutinated by lentogenic strain.
 NDV cause haemadsorption.
Antigenic properties:
 NDV is immunologically distinct from orthomyxoviruses & from
other members of paramyxoviruses.
 Mumps may develop HI antibodies to NDV.
Cultivation:
 NDV is inoculated into 10-12 days hen embryonated eggs via




chorioallantoic membrane or allantoic sac.
It produces haemorrhagic lesions and encephalitis & embryo
dies within 34-72 hours.
NDV grows well in chicken embryo fibroblast cell culture.
Maximum titer is obtained after 24-36 hours.
Titer of the virus in tissue culture is one log lower than that in
embryonated egg.
Strains of NDV classified according to their
pathogenicity into:
1. Viscerotropic velogenic NDV (Doyle's form).
2. Neurotropic velogenic NDV (Beache's form).
3. Mesogenic NDV (Beaudett's form).
4. Lentogenic NDV (Hitchner form).
5. Asymptomatic enteric NDV.
Transmission:
 Direct contact between healthy birds and the infected bird





discharges.
Contaminated feed, water, equipment and clothing.
Virus can be picked up on shoes and clothing and carried
from an infected flock to a healthy one.
Airborne spread.
Contaminated poultry vaccines.
Other animals and birds transporting the virus from farm to
farm.
Pathogenicity:
 the virulence of NDV Can be determined by the following
techniques:
1. The mean death time in chicken egg embryo (MDT).
2. Intracerebral Pathogenicity index (ICPI) in day-old chick.
3. Intravenous Pathogenicity index (IVPI) in 6 week old chickens.
4. Intracloacal Pathogenicity test in 6-8 week old chickens.
Incubation period:
 It varies from (2 to 15) days in poultry depending on the
virulence of the strain.
 In chickens infected with velogenic isolates; (2 to 6) days.
 In some avian species; 25 days.
Pathogenesis:
 The virus replicates in the mucosa of the upper respiratory and
intestinal tracts.
 Virus spreads via blood to spleen and bone marrow (viremia)
causing infection of other organs: lung ,intestines & C.N.S.
Immune response against NDV:
 Antibody production is rapid.
 HI antibody can be detected within 4-6 days of infection.
 The level of HI antibody is a measure of immunity.
 Serum antibodies of the hen are transferred to chicks through
yolk, and protect chicks for 3-4 weeks after hatching.
 Serum IgG does not prevent respiratory infection.
 Locally produced IgA prevent respiratory and the intestinal
infection.
Clinical Signs and Symptoms:
 Respiratory symptoms.
 Nervous signs.
 Digestive symptoms.
 Drop in egg production with thin, rough-shelled eggs.
 Swelling of tissues around eyes and in the neck.
 Sudden death.
 In human;(Mild conjunctivitis, influenza-like symptoms and
laryngitis).

PM and gross lesions:
 Inflammation with Petechial hemorrhages on proventriculus
mucosa.
 Edematous, hemorrhagic, necrotic, and ulcerative areas on
Peyer's patches, caecal tonsils.
 Edematous, hemorrhagic, or degenerated ovaries.
