“…The results from this study which were obtained in the Month of May were lower than the prevalence of 80.9% reported by Ibitoye et al (2013) in Sokoto State, Nigeria, 81.8% by Boakye et al (2016) in Kumasi, Ghana, 55.5% and 53.7% by Lawal et al (2015) and Lawal et al (2016) in a ten-year retrospective study of ND cases reported and diagnosed in Veterinary clinics in Gombe metropolis, Nigeria. The difference might be as a result of seasonality of Newcastle disease virus having high occurrence in the months of March and October which coincides with the onset of rainy and dry seasons respectively.…”

“…Therefore, detection of antibodies to ND in apparently healthy chickens might be indicative of natural infection by non-virulent or lentogenic strains of the virus that might not cause clinical diseases but acts like vaccine. However, at the period of sampling, some birds might be incubating the disease in a subclinical state (Chukwudi et al, 2012;Ibitoye et al, 2013;Mai et al, 2014;Eze and Ike, 2015).…”

A study was conducted at Ido and Atiba Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Oyo State, Nigeria, to investigate the prevalence of Newcastle disease (ND) using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) techniques. A total of 376 normal feathered local chickens were sampled by collecting 2 ml of blood from each bird. Sera that emanated from them were subjected to detection of ND antibodies using ELISA test kit. The data collected were analyzed by inferential statistics. The results showed that the prevalence of ND as 11.70% and 15.43% at Ido and Atiba LGAs, respectively. Adult males showed higher prevalence as compared to adult females in the two LGAs. Meanwhile the prevalence of ND in adults was higher than in the young in Ido but the reverse at Atiba LGA. Combined prevalence was averaged at 13.56% in the two LGAs. The combined results further showed that males (8.24%) were more susceptible to ND than females (5.32%) just like adults (7.45%) were more susceptible than the growers (6.11%). It can be concluded that ND is prevalent in the study areas. It can therefore be recommended that vaccination of local chickens should be vigorously implemented since they are in the common environment/space with intensively managed birds to avert cross infection. Key words: antibodies, ELISA, local chickens, Newcastle disease, prevalence

“…From the table, the overall NDV seroprevalence of 17.0% obtained was lower than the result obtained by Ibitoye et al [ 11 ] in a retrospective study where they reported an NDV seroprevalence of 80.9% for chicken in Sokoto State. This may be due to the seasonality of NDV having high occurrence in the months of March and October [ 11 ] which coincide with onset of the rainy season and dry season, respectively. The high wind movement transfers infection from one poultry house or flock to the other [ 7 , 9 ].…”

Newcastle disease is a contagious disease of birds and is the greatest constraint to the development of rural poultry production in Nigeria and most developing countries. The only effective means of control is vaccination which is not properly carried out in Nigeria. Therefore, this project determined the prevalence rate of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in local chicken in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. About 5 mL of blood was collected from each of 200 chickens at the point of sale by exsanguination and sera obtained were analyzed using Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test to determine the prevalence of NDV. Of the 200 samples screened 34 were positive for HI antibody to NDV giving a prevalence rate of 17%. The prevalence rate obtained in this study is significant (P < 0.05) and indicates endemicity of the disease. There was no statistically significant (P > 0.05) difference in the seroprevalence of NDV antibodies among the four markets studied. Further studies are required to determine the strains circulating for appropriate preventive and control measures.

“…However, the viability and development of the industry is threatened by infectious diseases partly due to poor sanitary practices and lack of managerial skills. Some of the common poultry diseases encountered in the state include: Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, fowl pox, salmonellosis, colibacillosis and various forms of staphylococcal infections (Ibitoye et al, 2013).…”

Objective:The study was conducted to determine the presence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in chickens and farm personnel in Sokoto, North-western Nigeria. Materials and method: A total of 160 samples (136 from chickens and 14 from personnel) were collected and screened for the presence of MRSA using cultural characteristics, biochemical tests and latex slide agglutination test for the presence of Penicillin binding protein 2α (PBP2α). Results: MRSA were detected in 8.82% (n=12/136) of chickens, while 14.29% (n=2/14) in farm personnel. All the isolates were positive for PBP2α. Conclusion: This study established for the first time the occurrence of MRSA in both chickens and farm personnel from poultry farms in Sokoto, Nigeria. Thus, the study provided baseline information for further studies on the epidemiology of MRSA.
