Abstract

Calves were infected intranasally and intratracheally with Newcastle disease virus (NDV), an avian paramyxovirus. Clinical signs, viral replication, and antibody production were evaluated. This study showed that NDV replicated in calves, as evidenced by development of NDV-specific humoral and mucosal antibody responses, but was attenuated in this unnatural host. These results suggest that NDV has the potential for development as a host-range-restricted, intranasal vaccine vector for cattle that lack preexisting immunity to NDV.
