Abstract Twenty random field isolates 0±’ 1ewcast1e disease virus (NDV), recovered during 1977—to 1980 from six avian species, were examined along wit.h four currently used vaccine strains by various tests for in vitro and in vivo strain m.arkers. The results achieved showed that: le The isolates differed considerably in their ability to agglutinate various avian and mnmalian eyt1irocytes, and were distinguishable from the vaccine strains by their inability to agglutinate cow erythrocytes. 2. The haemagglutination—elution patterns varied with the virus strain and type of erythrocytes. With chicken RBC, 18 so1ates as well as the vaccine straine Bl, F and Komarov were rapid eluter, whereas 2 isolates and the LaSota vaccine strain were intermediate. with chicken nb’o ±J3C, all intrediate eluter became slow eluter and two rapid eluter became 1ow and intezmediate eluter. 3. ..1l isolates, except three from chickens, were thernio— staWe at 56 0 for longer than 60 minutes. he three isolates from chickens, like the vaccine stains, were thermolabi].e. Virus infectivity was lost simultanously with the haanglu— tinin, or more frequently some time ea’].ier. 4 |
