ABSTRACT
Newcastle disease (ND) virus was isolated and identified from the field outbreaks of ND in chickens showing typical signs and lesions. These isolates were characterized on the basis of MDT, ICPI and IVPI. ELD50 of velogenic isolate was 10‾4.82/0.1ml. ND virus was inoculated intraocularly in pigeons for the production of disease. Velogenic strain of ND produced starvation, greenish white droppings, difficult respiration, paralysis and leg weakness. Postmortem lesions of dead birds showed hemorrhages in trachea, proventriculus, intestine and spleen. Spleanomegaly was also observed.
