Clinical Traits and Pathology of Newcastle Disease Infection and Guidelines for Farm Visit and Differential Diagnosis

  • Chapter
Avian Influenza and Newcastle Disease

Abstract

The main body of evidence regarding the clinical aspects of avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1) infection has been collected from poultry, mainly chickens. Based on the occurrence and severity of clinical manifestation. (1984) identified five viral pathotypes (Table 9.1). The clinical manifestations of this disease are highly variable and there are no lesions or signs that can be considered pathognomonic (McFerran and McCracken 1988).
