Isolation of a mesogenic Newcastle diseases virus from an acute disease in Indonesian ducks
Abstract
An outbreak with mortality and acute nervous signs in ducks is reported. A haemagglutinating virus was recovered from dead and sick ducks that was neutralised by Newcastle disease antiserum. The virus was a thermostable paramyxovirus that was classified as a mesogenic Newcastle disease virus. The virus induced the infection in young ducklings following intramuscular inoculation.
