Vaccination against Newcastle disease may reduce losses but may not fully prevent infection. Use of La Sota Newcastle vac cine does blunt the spread of the disease. Laboratory tests are needed to differentiate VVND from domestic Newcastle disease. Poultry infected with the Exotic Newcastle- virus sometimes die before signs of the disease appear. Death can occur anytime after the first symptoms of depression. Infected birds appear listless with heavy breathing and become progressively weaker. They commonly have watery, greenish diarrhea, which may be bloodstained. They have swelling of the head, especially around the eyes. VVND is a highly con tagious virus disease that can affect all species of birds. It is not a hazard to the consumers of eggs and poultry products.
