Abstract
Newcastle disease is an economically important avian disease with a very
wide host range involving commercial chicken, country chicken, wild birds
and free living birds. Systematic vaccination is followed only in commercial
chicken whereas the other types of birds are not brought under vaccination
cover. This results in the existence of a susceptible population, throwing the
over stressed commercial broilers and layers under constant threat. 236
different species of birds have been reported to be susceptible to Newcastle
disease virus (NDV) infection.
