Abstract
Newcastle disease virus was isolated from 6 field cases in Morocco. On the basis of the mean death time of chicken embryos, the intracerebral pathogenicity index and plaque formation on chicken embryo fibroblast monolayers, 5 isolates were determined to be of the velogenic pathotype. One of these differed from the others in that it agglutinated equine erthrocytes. The 6th isolate was of low virulence but differed from the vaccinal strain tested.
