Abstract

|
Newcastle disease (ND) is acute respiratory disease with high mortality in chicken and pet birds. Two ostriches aged on 51 days old submitted had showed clinical signs of severe torticolis and poor locomotion. In gross, fibrinous air-sacculitis and hemorrhagic enteritis were present. The significant lesions were histopathologically lymphocytic encephalitis such as perivascular cuffings and gliosis in neuropil. The velogenic ND virus was isolated ftom 10 day-old embryonated eggs inoculated with hemogenized cecal tonsils. These results suggest that NO occurred in the ostrich in Korea.
