Abstract
Fourteen Newcastle disease virus isolates were recovered, 10 from dead birds (nine chickens and one guinea fowl) and four from apparently healthy, free‐roaming birds (one chicken, two ducks and one pigeon) in Nigeria. The pathogenicity indices showed all the isolates to be velogenic.Keywords
