Velogenic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes global economic losses in the poultry industry. Although proper vaccination does prevent outbreaks of ND, genetic selection for enhanced resistance to NDV offers a complementary approach to disease prevention. Understanding the gene expression changes induced by ND infection will help to elucidate mechanisms of host resistance and susceptibility.
Two distinct and highly inbred chicken lines - Fayoumi and Leghorn - were studied as relatively ND-resistant and susceptible models, respectively. Equal numbers of birds from each line were inoculated with LaSota strain NDV (or saline control) through nasal and ocular routes at 21 days of …
