tracts in comparison to the liver were investigated ...
Effect of Immunosuppression on Newcastle Disease Virus Persistence in Ducks with Different Immune Status
(ISRN Veterinary Science, 2012)
This study was carried out to verify the possibility that ducks are sources of Newcastle disease (ND) virus infection for chickens in mixed flocks. Immunosuppressed (IS) and non immunosuppressed (NIS) birds, at three ...
