Abstract
Velogenie viscerotropic Newcastle disease (VVND) virus was transmitted by Fannia canicularis (L.) that had been fed either on the virus introduced into the feeding bottles of the flies or on moribund chickens infected with VVND. Fannia caniciilaris fed on a concentrated virus source retained infectivity for at least 6 days before being frozen. In vitro infectivity of even single Hies was demonstrated. Fannia canicularis therefore should be regarded as one agent involved in the spread of VVND.
