Abstract
The ability to haemagglutinate the red blood cells is a property
of certain viruses like New castle Disease Viruses (NDV). In large scale
testing programmes the collection, processing, field storage and transport
of large number of sera samples poses a problem. Recently several
authors have reported that serum may be obtained from whole chicken
blood dried on filter paper for certain routine serological tests. These
reports suggest that problems such as spillover, drying, breakage of
glass etc., associated with conventional semm samples while being
despatched can be avoided (Giambrone, 1981).
