Newcastle disease virus detection kits

Newcastle disease is caused by an RNA virus, paramyxovirus-1 (PMV-1), also known as Newcastle disease virus (NDV). NDV is a contagious and fatal viral disease affecting most species of birds. Clinical signs are extremely variable depending on the strain of virus, species and age of bird, concurrent disease, and preexisting immunity. NDV is so virulent that many birds die without showing any clinical signs. A death rate of almost 100 percent can occur in unvaccinated poultry flocks. NDV can infect and cause death even in vaccinated poultry.
