ND is one of the most devastating diseases of the poultry industry. The disease was categorized as ‗notifiable‘ owing to the immense economic losses caused to the poultry farmers. Wide host range is one major limiting factor in controlling the disease. While chicken, turkeys, doves, pigeons are highly susceptible, waterfowls such as ducks and geese are less susceptible and considered as natural reservoirs for lentogenic AAvV-1. |
