Newcastle disease in Nigeria: epizootiology and current knowledge of circulating genotypes

Abstract: Over the years, Newcastle disease (ND) has defied all available control measures. The disease has remained at the forefront of infectious diseases afflicting poultry production after avian influenza. Despite the continuous global use of million doses of ND vaccine annually, the causative pathogen, avian paramyxovirus type 1 also known as Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has continued to evolve causing, even more, a threat not only to the unvaccinated but the vaccinated flocks inclusive. The disease has been well … Show more

“…They were obtained from Sokoto State in the North and Oyo State from the South. Based on the phylogenetic tree analysis, the two strains are quite related to the isolates from Togo and Ivory-Coast (Figure 1(c)) as earlier reported by Shittu et al [32]. On the contrary, subgenotype XVIIIa isolates are yet to be encountered in Nigeria.…”

“…On the basis of phylogenetic analysis, genotype XVIIa isolates from Nigeria are closely related to those from Niger Republic, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, and Mali whereas the genotype XVIIb isolates, whose mean intrasubgenotype distance was estimated to be 1.5%, are so far exclusively composed of Nigerian strains (Figure 1(c)). Importantly, the ecological distribution of genotype XVII isolates is to date restricted to the West and Central Africa [32, 53] where they are believed to considerably militate against poultry production. Indeed, representatives of these isolates have recently been shown to cause a typical velogenic viscerotropic ND [87] characterized by end stage morbidity and high mortality in chicken.…”

“…A tremendous amount of information about AAvV‐1 is available on the characteristics and genetic relationships because of the severe disease it causes in poultries worldwide (Shittu, Joannis, Odaibo, & Olaleye, ; Xue et al., , ; Zhang et al., ). By comparison, the pathological phenomenon which AAvV‐6 causes are relatively weak, just manifested in decreased egg production and mild respiratory disease in turkeys and was avirulent in chickens under normal circumstances (Alexander, ; Saif & Barnes, ; Sobolev et al., ).…”

“…Newcastle disease (ND) is the most devastating viral disease of poultry, especially in developing countries, where the majority of the flock is raised on an extensive management system [ 1 ]. The disease is caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV), an avian orthoavulavirus 1 that belongs to the genus orthoavulavirus , in the subfamily Avulavirinae , and family Paramyxoviridae [ 2 , 3 ].…”
