Aerosol vaccination against Newcastle disease. III. Field experiments in broiler chickens. 1977

P Villegas, and D P Anderson, and S H Kleven, and S A Vezey

Two different aerosol generators were used for aerosol-vaccination of 128,000 broiler-type chickens having moderate to low maternal antibody titers with the B1 and LaSota strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). Efficacy of vaccination was evaluated from resistance to challenge with a velogenic strain (Texas GB) of NDV and hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody titers, Both aerosol generators induced adequate immune response at the aperture settings used. There was little detectable benefit from vaccination at 1 day old, but antibody response and resistance to challenge were good from vaccination at 10 and 28 days of age.

D009521	Newcastle Disease	An acute febrile, contagious, viral disease of birds caused by an AVULAVIRUS called NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS. It is characterized by respiratory and nervous symptoms in fowl and is transmissible to man causing a severe, but transient conjunctivitis.	Disease, Newcastle
D002645	Chickens	Common name for the species Gallus gallus, the domestic fowl, in the family Phasianidae, order GALLIFORMES. It is descended from the red jungle fowl of SOUTHEAST ASIA.	Gallus gallus,Gallus domesticus,Gallus gallus domesticus,Chicken
D006385	Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests	Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.

D000336	Aerosols	Colloids with a gaseous dispersing phase and either liquid (fog) or solid (smoke) dispersed phase; used in fumigation or in inhalation therapy; may contain propellant agents.	Aerosol
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
