Abstract
Total of 185 blood samples collected from 11
layer farms (aged between 19 and 108 weeks)
in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu were tested for the
presence of antibodies against avian metapneumovirus
by using a commercial enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay kit (IDEXX APV Ab
test, Liebefeld-Bern, Switzerland) to determine
antibodies against A, B and C subtypes of avian
metapneumovirus and demonstrated 99.46 per
cent seropositivity against aMPV antibodies
