A retrospective study of factors associated with newcastle disease outbreaks in village indigenous chickens
(University of Nairobi, 2010)
The objective of this study, therefore, was to determine the risk factors associated with
occurrence of Newcastle disease in village indigenous chickens. The study was carried out in five agro –ecological zones and seventy ...
Newcastle disease virus and antibody levels in matched sera, ovules and mature eggs of indigenous village hens
(Kenya Veterinary Association, 2008)
In this study, one hundred and thirty three non - vaccinated village hens in lay were tested for carriage of Newcastle disease virus and presence of antibody against the virus in sera, ovules and eggs. Blood was obtained ...
Indigenous Ducks are Better Reservoirs of P. multocida than Indigenous Chickens
(2005)
Two experiments were performed to study cross infections from chickens to ducks and vice versa. For each experiment the source birds (chickens or ducks) were infected with Pasteurella multocida strain 10322T. The infected ...
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 ...
Prevalence of Newcastle disease virus in village indigenous chickens in varied agro-ecological zones in Kenya
(2010)
It was hypothesized that the agro-ecological zone in which village indigenous chickens were farmed
influenced the level of diseases occurrence. One hundred and forty four apparently healthy chickens
(71 from lower highland ...
Comparison of the Carrier Status of P. multocida Between Farm and Live Market Indigenous Birds
(2005)
A total of one hundred and seventy one indigenous birds from smallholder farms and those traded in market centers in Nairobi were examined for the presence of Pasteurella multocida. Of these, 135 were farmed and 36 were ...

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 ...
Viral nucleoprotein localization and lesions of Newcastle disease in tissues of indigenous ducks
(2011-08)
Localization of Newcastle disease viral nucleoprotein and pathological lesions was valuated in tissues of 55 indigenous ducks (45 experimentally infected and 10 sentinel
ones). In addition, ten Newcastle disease infected ...
