2.1. History: The first notorious recognition of the Newcastle disease (ND) is Java, Indonesia (Kraneveld, 1926). It was followed by an occurrence in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England (Doyle, 1927) thus coining the term for the disease. There are also some previous reports of similar illness in Central Europe as well (Hallas, 1912). Specifically, McPherson (1956), attributed the cause of mortality of all chickens in the West Islands of Scotland to be Newcastle disease in 1896. The ND might be such that it did not occur in poultry prior to 1926 but the particular time of its recognition as a lethal viral poultry disease originates from its outbreak in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The name New Castle was devised by Doyle as in 1935. After some time, mild …show more content…

Another factor is the revolution that has occurred in world transport. Air transportation especially has led to a huge and growing trade in captive caged birds. Antigenic and genetic evidence (Alexander et al., 1997; Lomniczi et al., 1998; Herczeg et al., 2001), also report a global spread of third pathogenic virus during 1970s. Another panzootic occurred in piegons in 1980s rather than poultry but its spread also occurred to poultry (Kaleta et al., 1985). In 1990 in Ireland two outbreaks of ND occurred in egg laying birds. (Alexander et al., …show more content…

The results showed that a combination of live and inactivated vaccine provide greater protection against NDV. It is being used in monitoring programs in poultry production very successfully. The ability of the live virus to interfere with monitoring and diagnostic laboratory can be regarded as a potential obstacle (limiting factor) for the use of live vaccine. However, real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RRT-PCR), discriminates between low virulent and virulent NDV, thus minimizing the disadvantage of live virus vaccines in the face of an outbreak. Hence, the use of such vaccines to control outbreaks of virulent ND in the future can be facilitated. The effect of emulsion structure upon level of in vivo antibody formation against inactivated New Castle Disease virus (NDV) was demonstrated by Jansen et al (2006) in which W/O-type emulsions were noted to induce the best immune

The vaccine was produced by being grown in the WI-38 cell line. This vaccine is developed from the incubated virus that is purified and then weakened. This virus replicated itself quickly because the WI-38 cell line is a suitable environment for reproduction. The vaccination for Varicella and Measles was developed in the same way. The incubated virus is purified and then weakened, developing a vaccine for the disease.

How Did The Bubonic Plague Affect European Culture

601 Words | 3 Pages

Often as a result of overpopulation, pandemics—like swine flu and ebola, for instance—have affected life on Earth for centuries; one of the most well-known, and possibly the most unforgiving epidemics was the Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death . Although the first symptoms of the Plague trace back to the Mongol Empire in 1331, the disease first struck Europe in Venice and Genoa during the winter of 1348. In the following years, the Bubonic Plague spread rapidly throughout Europe, killing roughly a third of its population. It is suggested that the rapid spread and extreme severity of the Black Death was partially due to the weakened immune system of the Europeans, which had been caused by the Great Famine, a period of food scarcity that affected Europe from 1315 to 1322. Additionally, the lack of knowledge about the spread of

It was, however, notable for the way it affected the whole country. The last outbreak in 1967 had been confined to a relatively small area and The Northumberland report issued by the government after that outbreak recommended that speed was of the essence in dealing with any future outbreak of the disease. Priority should be given to the speedy identification of infected animals and those animals should be slaughtered on the spot within 24 hours, with their carcasses buried in quicklime. These recommendations were no longer in effect by 2001, partly thanks to changes brought about by farming practice and the closure of many local abattoirs which meant that animals had to be transported greater distances. More particularly, Britain’s accession to the European Union had meant that by 1985 new European Union legislation was in effect in the UK.

Cdc Organizational Structure

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) and public safety are planned, organized, prevented, and responded to through an organized structure similar to an emergency response command team. The CDC and other government agencies has a decision making process before handling a strategic action plan when dealing with infectious diseases that may start in America or from a foreign place. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites, and organisms can live inside and outside of our bodies. The CDC planning structure is designed to expose, investigate, and monitor any new or old infectious diseases to protect the public from a plague scenario. A curable illness can be treated and recovered from a preventable

Cause Of Avian Pandemics

773 Words | 4 Pages

In Darwin’s The Origin of Species, paragraph 15, when a species has a high population in a small area, disease spreads very quickly. This is because there are many organisms in close proximity to each other, which means that the disease can spread from organism to organism very quickly and very easily. In the case of avian flu, the virus spreads so quickly because the chickens are very close and locked up in pens. Since the chickens are so close for so much of the time, the disease spreads quickly through them, and they become ill.
