The method proved to be specific as all tested NDVs were detected and no cross reaction with other RNA viruses was observed. Sensitivity of the method was established at 10 5 ELD50/0.1 ml. To detect NDV in chicken tissues, SPF chickens were inoculated with 10 6 EID50 of 3 NDV reference strains: La Sota (lentogenic), Roakin (mesogenic) and Italy (velogenic pigeon variant) and 5 d p.i. various tissue samples were aseptically collected followed by RT-PCR and virus isolation on SPF embryos. The results showed high concordance: 93% (La Sota and Italy) to 100% (Roakin) between both methods.Read More
