Newcastle disease virus

It is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus of the genus Avulavirus, family Paramyxoviridae. NDV is a paramyxovirus with a bilayer lipid envelope. NDV naturally infects poultry, with different levels of pathogenicity depending on the virulence of the virus. NDV is usually not pathogenic to humans, although it may cause minor transient symptoms, such as conjunctivitis and flu-like symptoms.

Characteristics
Shape and Size
spherical shape, 150 nM in diameter,
Genome Information
Newcastle disease virus strain NDV/Chicken/Kamrup/07/14, RefSeq NC_002617.1, Size 15.19 Kb, GC% 46.2, Protein 6, gene 6 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/5541
Food Source
infected poultry animals
Pathological Factor
Human infections can cause a mild illness and is generally only seen in poultry workers. One of the viral proteins associated with pathogenicity in avian is the F protein. The M, F and HN genes are related to the severe pathological changes in the spleen of chickens infected.

Symptoms
syptoms are watery diarrhae, fever, anorexia and abdominal pain.

gastro intestinal organs
