Host response to successive challenges with lentogenic and velogenic Newcastle disease virus in local chickens of Ghana

Poultry Science, 2022
: Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease that constantly threatens poultry production. The velogenic (highly virulent) form of ND inflicts the most damage and can lead to 100% mortality in unvaccinated village chicken flocks.
