Newcastle Disease is a viral disease of poultry that can be classified in several ways: 1. By virulence, with strains ranging from lentogenic (low virulence, used for vaccines), to mesogenic (intermediate virulence), to velogenic (highly pathogenic and virulent). 2. By tissue tropism, with strains being neurotropic (prefer nervous system), viscerotropic (prefer visceral organs), or pneumotropic (prefer respiratory organs). 3. The virus is transmitted horizontally between flocks through infected poultry products or vectors, and within flocks through aerosol, food, water, or fomites. Vertical transmission from parent to offspring has
