Virulent Newcastle Disease

Last Modified: Aug 24, 2018

Virulent Newcastle Disease (vND), formerly known as Exotic Newcastle Disease is a contagious and fatal viral disease affecting the respiratory, nervous and digestive systems of birds and poultry. The disease is so virulent that many birds and poultry die without showing any clinical signs.

vND is not a food safety concern.  No human cases of Newcastle disease have ever occurred from eating poultry products.  Properly cooked poultry products are safe to eat.  In very rare instances people working directly with sick birds can become infected with mild symptoms. 

vND has not been found in commercial poultry in the U.S. since 2003.

Since May 18, USDA has confirmed 117 cases of vND in backyard birds in California, 84 in San Bernardino County, 16 in Riverside County, 16 in Los Angeles County and 1 in Ventura County:

How You Can Help

 

It is essential that all bird owners follow good biosecurity practices to help protect their birds from infectious diseases.  These simple steps include: 

    • Washing hands and scrubbing boots before and after entering an area with birds;
    • Cleaning and disinfecting tires and equipment before moving them off the property; and
    • Isolating any birds returning from shows for 30 days before placing them with the rest of the flock.

 All bird owners should report sick birds or unusual bird deaths to State/Federal officials, either through their state veterinarian or through USDA’s toll-free number at 1-866-536-7593.
