“…Various investigations have been carried out on important poultry diseases affecting indigenous chickens in Africa: viral (Adene 1983;Mushi, Binta, Chabo, Hera, Thibanyene & Mkana 2001;Ohore, Ozegbe, Emikpe & Okojie 2003), mycoplasmal (Mushi, Binta, Chabo, Mathiao & Ndebele 1999), bacterial (Mdegela, Msoffe, Waihenya, Kasanya, Mkambo, Minga & Olsen 2002;Ohore, Ozegbe, Emikpe & Oluwayelu 2002) and parasitic infections (Magbool, Ahmed & Raza 1998) but there is a dearth of information on chicken infectious anaemia (Wicht & Maharaj 1998) especially in indigenous chickens.…”

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica;">Serum samples from 20 out of 180 (11.1 %) apparently healthy Nigerian indigenous chickens were negative for antibodies against chicken anaemia virus using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Of the 160 positive sera (88.9 %), 12 (7.5 %) had titres ranging from 1 500-3 000, 46 (28.8 %) had titres from 3 000-5 000 while 102 (63.8 %) had titres between 5 000-11 000. The overall mean titre value was 5 845 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">+</span> 2 402. This appears to be evidence of a natural outbreak of the infection since the chickens had no history of vaccination against any poultry disease.</span>

“…Therefore, the high prevalence of female chickens to ND infection particularly in the free-range management system within the period of the study have demonstrated a high susceptibility probably caused by weak immune status compared to the male chickens. According to [21,22] in Ethiopia, female chickens were more vulnerable to ND compared to the male chickens, which is inconsonant with this study. This result, however, showed a discrepancy with [23] findings in Nigeria who reported high seropositivity in male chickens compared to the females.…”

The study was conducted in the southern province of Sierra Leone for a period of seven months (March -September 2019). The main objective of the study was to investigate the seroprevalence level of Newcastle disease antibodies in apparently healthy free-range chickens in selected chiefdoms in the Moyamba District of Sierra Leone. A total of three hundred and thirty-three chickens were included in the study. Sera samples collected were analyzed using competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The result of the investigation revealed an overall prevalence of 56.4% from which 21.6% and 34.8% were male and female chickens respectively. Kaiyamba chiefdom recorded the highest antibodies (73.9%), followed by Lower Banta (53.1%) and Bumpe (42.3%) chiefdoms. The difference in the prevalence of each category showed that adult female chickens were the most susceptible (67.5%) to Newcastle disease followed by the growers (55.8%) and adult male chickens (45.9%). Due to the lack of Newcastle disease vaccination history in the study areas, indigenous chickens had been exposed to the disease naturally in all the chiefdoms. Raising awareness about the disease through effective extension programs and improved animal healthcare services and husbandry practices is of great importance.

“…Extension education is one aspect that is required, including studies on knowledge and attitude of farmers to AI vaccination. Newcastle disease (ND) on the other hand, is an acute infectious and highly contagious disease (Adu et al, 1985;Abdu & Garba, 1989;Awan et al, 1994;Ohore et al, 2002;Saidu et al, 2006). It is caused by ND virus (NDV) which is a paramyxovirus.…”

Newcastle disease (ND) and Avian Influenza (AI) are among the important viral diseases of poultry with very high economic implications. ND is enzootic in most parts of the world while Highly Pathogenic AI (HPAI) is an emerging zoonosis in Nigeria. This study was carried out to assess the perception and attitude of poultry farmers in the selected Local Government Areas in Ibadan towards vaccination of birds against these diseases, and to find out the types of vaccines that were available for the control of the two diseases. A total of 84 respondents out of 100 (84%) completed and returned the questionnaires administered. The results indicated that all farmers vaccinated their birds against ND. The regime for ND vaccination was not the same across the local government areas. Some 32 (38.1%) farmers operated vaccination schedules provided by hatchery technicians, while 43 (51.2%) farmers vaccinated their birds at about 4-6 weeks interval. Nine (10.7%) farmers combined hatchery and laboratory evaluation to determine schedule. Thirty nine farmers (46.4%) indicated that they were aware of national policy of non-vaccination against AI. However, 14 out of 84 farmers (16.7%) vaccinated their birds against HPAI. There is a need to continue the national policy of slaughter of HPAI infected poultry birds and compensation of farmers, albeit allowing strategic use of vaccine to effectively control HPAI outbreaks in southwestern part of Nigeria.
