“…It is noticed that there is a difference in hemagglutination patterns which could not be correlated to the virulence of the NDV isolates. This result was similar to previous research [ 11 ] and disagrees with the suggestion of others [ 12 ] that the pattern of agglutination of some NDV strains may be related to the degree of virulence that more virulent strains appear to show less agglutinability of certain mammalian red blood cells than the less virulent ones.…”

The biological properties and pathogenicity of seven Newcastle disease virus field isolates were studied. These isolates were recovered from different outbreaks in Sudan (5 from chickens and 2 from pigeons) during 2008–2013. Based on intracerebral pathogenicity index, four NDV isolates were characterized as velogenic (their ICPI ranged 2.0–1.6) and three isolates were characterized as mesogenic (ICPI ranged 1.2–1.3). The mean death time for all isolates ranged from 54 to 76.8 hours. The elution time of the viruses from chicken erythrocytes and the ability to haemagglutinate mammalian red blood cells differed considerably in their reactions.

“…The lack of agglutinability of most mammalian erythrocytes by the velogenic strains appears to agree with the findings of Haruna et al, (1993). These workers observed a direct linkage between the agglutinability of mammalian RBCS and virulence of ND viruses.…”

“…The pattern of agglutination may also be related to the degree of virulence of some NDV strains. The more virulent strains appear to show less agglutinability of certain mammalian red blood cells than the less virulent ones (Haruna, et al, 1993). The agglutination of erythrocytes of different animal species could serve as a quick means of identifying and separating different viruses as well as different strains of one and the same virus (Tolba et al, 1960).…”

A hemaglutinação dos eritrócitos de mamíferos por cepas de campo e vacinais do vírusda doença de Newcastle foi avaliada. Foi verificado variabilidade no modelo deaglutinação entre as várias espécies. Embora diferenças perceptíveis no padrão deaglutinação entre vírus de campo e cepas vacinais não tenham sido evidentes, diferençasentre as cepas velogénicas e não velogénicas foram observadas. A possibilidade dedesenvolvimento de testes hemaglutinação utilizando eritrócitos de mamíferos para arápida diferenciação de cepas em laboratórios menos desenvolvidos é aqui discutida.

“…The difference may be as a result of the sample size, the period of sample collections and diagnostic methods employed. Although fatal outbreaks of ND has been reported among guinea fowls in Nigeria despite the fact that these species of birds seem to be more resistant to ND than chickens [93,[111][112][113] have reported that Newcastle disease virus is enzootic among guinea fowls in Borno and Yobe States, Northeastern Nigeria. However, Boakye et al [114] recently reported 48.6% ND seroprevalence in guinea fowls in Ghana.…”

The study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of Newcastle disease (ND) amongst some village poultry species at poultry markets in Gombe, Nigeria. A total of 1200 (841 Village chickens, 320 Guinea Fowls and 39 Pigeons) sera samples were tested. Haemagglutination inhibition test revealed an overall ND virus (NDV) antibodies prevalent rate of 53.7% (644/1200). The seroprevalence of antibodies to ND was found to be higher in Village chickens 527/841 (62.7%) followed by Pigeons 19/39 (48.7%) and Guinea Fowls 98/320 (30.6%) respectively and were found to be seropositive with Geometric Mean Titres (GMT) of 1.9 to 5.9. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in antibodies to ND seroprevalence rates among the different sampling locations. Species of poultry was found to be associated with ND seroprevalence (P ≤ 0.05) in this study. Newcastle disease antibodies was statistically significantly (P<0.0001) higher in Village chickens compared to Guinea Fowls at 95 CI (odd ratio=0.4887). However, there was no statistical significance (P=0.4106) difference of ND antibodies between Village chickens and Pigeons at 95% CI (odd ratio=0.7775) and also between pigeons and Guinea Fowls (P=0.1426 at 95% CI, odd ratio=1.591). These poultry species could play significant role in the epidemiology and transmission of the Newcastle disease to more the susceptible commercial exotic chickens or other immune deficient village poultry species especially where reared in close proximity. Therefore, free routine ND vaccination campaign should be launched in the study areas with more emphases targeting the Village poultry species in order to block the epidemic cycle of the virus. Moreover, village poultry farmers should be enlightened on the economic significance of the disease and the need to maintain strict biosecurity measures on their poultry farms.
