Description

To complete the socio-economic and epidemiological data obtained between 1999 and 2000, other investigations aiming to confirm the results were carried out. Thus, Newcastle disease virus, recognised as the first health constraint in the traditional avian sub sector, was isolated and identified. Through serological studies specific antibodies against a number of diseases were detected. The sero-prevalence of infectious bronchitis, Gumboro disease, and Salmonella pullorum was 96%, 64% and 1.77% respectively. (author)
