SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ANIMAL HEALTH
Companion mammals such as dogs and cats occasionally acquire infection with APMV1. Cattle, sheep, goats, horses and other equids are susceptible following experimental infection and react with antibody formation.
However, all these species do not develop signs of disease and play no role in the epidemiology of ND.NDV- infected poultry and hobby birds that are kept outside excrete virus in large quantities and can infect free- living wild birds in the vicinity.
