Abstract: Pigeon Newcastle disease (ND) is an infectious disease caused by Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which is prevalent in pigeon farms all over the world. This paper introduces the epidemic status and characteristics of pigeon ND, the genotypes of the NDV strains dominantly prevalent in pigeons, the virulence and antigenic feature of the NDV strains. Furthermore, we propose that, on the basis of good biosafety control and fine management in pigeon farms, the proper immunization is an effective way to the prevention and control of pigeon ND by using commercially available vaccines.

Key words: pigeon Newcastle disease, prevalence, prevention and control, genotype, immunization
