Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian virus that has not been isolated from naturally infected non-avian and non-human hosts except for one report in which it was isolated from cattle in 1952. We report here for the first time the isolation and identification of NDV from sheep and suggest that this virus be included in the screening of viruses from non-avian hosts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
