Newcastle disease in falcons.
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.
