Abstract
This is a preliminary study on the ecology of Newcastle Disease virus (NDV) in quail, especially the carrier status and the susceptibility of the birds to NDV. Cloacal swabs were collected from three quail farms and isolation of NDV was attempted. Very small number of isolates (4%,) were obtained, but it could still indicate that the virus is present in the farm, and quails could carry the virus. The serology results show that the vaccinated birds have a higher antibody titer as compared to nonvaccinated birds. Two groups of nonvaccinated birds were challenged with 2 different doses of virulent NDV by three different route of challenge namely intramuscular, intranasal and incontact. The results revealed that quail is resistant to artificial infection with ND. The serological challenge response was higher in birds challenged with high dose of virus and those challenged by intranasal route. There is no significant difference in serological response of birds challenged by 3 different route with low dose of virus. No virus was isolated from a small proportion of cloacal swabs collected post challenge.
