The evidence for the airborne spread of Newcastle disease

PMCID: PMC2130488  PMID: 4515881

Abstract

Newcastle disease virus has been shown to survive when airborne in small particles, both in the laboratory and in the open air. Field outbreaks have been studied and viable virus has been recovered from the open air short distances downwind of infected premises. Vaccination of birds leads to a great reduction in the amount of virus liberated into the air.
