title: Newcastle disease in falcons.
abstract: Between March and October, 1975, 37 captive lanners (Falcon biarmicus abyssinicus) destined for exportation to Europe from Kano, Nigeria were examined for Newcastle Disease (ND) by the haemagglutination-inhibition technique in our laboratory. Twenty-one or 57% of the falcons showed high titres, presumably as the result of natural exposure to ND virus.
