1. newcastle disease

   Newcastle disease is a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease that affects a wide range of bird species, particularly domestic poultry such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks. The disease is characterized by digestive, respiratory and nervous symptoms. It is named after Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, where it was first identified in 1926. It can significantly impact poultry production due to its ability to cause rapid and extensive bird death. The disease can be transmitted through direct contact with infected birds or indirectly through contaminated food, water, equipment, and human clothing. Lack of proper hygiene and biosecurity practices can increase the risk of an outbreak.

1. Newcastle disease

   Newcastle disease is a contagious bird disease affecting many domestic and wild avian species; it is transmissible to humans. First found in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom in 1926, then by Burnet in 1943 in Australia in connection with laboratory infection, where the virus was isolated from an ocular discharge of a patient to show the specific antibody titre in the patient's blood. Newcastle has a negative-sense, single-stranded genome which codes for a RNA-directed RNA polymerase, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein, fusion protein, matrix protein, phosphoprotein and nucleoprotein in the 5' to 3' direction. Its effects are most notable in domestic poultry due to their high susceptibility and the potential for severe impacts of an epizootic on the poultry industries. It is endemic to many countries. Exposure of humans to infected birds can cause mild conjunctivitis and influenza-like symptoms, but the Newcastle disease virus otherwise poses no hazard to human health. Interest in the use of NDV as an anticancer agent has arisen from the ability of NDV to selectively kill human tumour cells with limited toxicity to normal cells.
