Li J.Y., Li J., and Xu Q.B., 2024, Case study of successful eradication of newcastle disease in chicken populations via vaccination, International Journal of Molecular Veterinary Research, 14(6): 235-243 (doi: 10.5376/ijmvr.2024.14.0027)

This study aims to examine the successful eradication of ND in chicken populations through vaccination, focusing on a specific case study of a region that overcame major outbreaks via an organized vaccination campaign. The study details the etiology and pathogenesis of the Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV), clinical signs, and diagnosis in chickens, as well as the global epidemiology of ND. It further evaluates the different types of vaccines, including live, inactivated, and recombinant vaccines, alongside challenges in vaccine development. The case study explores the initial ND outbreaks, the methods of vaccination implementation, and the factors contributing to the success of the vaccination program, such as effective delivery systems, government support, and public awareness. Key challenges faced during the campaign, such as logistical issues and vaccine hesitancy, are also discussed. Post-vaccination surveillance, long-term monitoring, and strategies for preventing disease resurgence are highlighted, along with policy implications for expanding vaccination efforts globally. The paper concludes by emphasizing the critical role of vaccination in controlling ND and providing recommendations for future disease eradication efforts.
