A Study On A Velogenic Viscerotropic Newscastle Disease Virus In Vitro And In Vivo

The velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease virus or the Asiatic strain has been considered the most virulent strain of Newcastle disease virus. It is commonly found in Southeast Asia and it has been known to cause 100\ mortality in susceptible flocks. In spite of this, very little research ha...
