Abstract

Newcastle disease is a viral and often fatal disease that has been reported to affect a wide range of avian hosts, irrespective of age and sex. It is reported to be a major constraint to the development, survival and productivity of village poultry. This paper is a review of the epidemiology of Newcastle disease in village poultry in Nigeria, with emphasis on the susceptibility of species, types and ages. Also examined are the challenges and prospects of Newcastle disease control in this village poultry sector in Nigeria. This was conducted for the purpose of formulating effective strategies for controlling the disease in the rural areas of Nigeria.
