Özet
Avian influenza (AI) and Newcastle disease (ND) are economically important viral diseases of birds, endemic in many countries. Both viruses can infect humans, but the H5 and H7 subtypes of AI viruses (AIVs) have caused devastating public and animal health problems worldwide. Both viruses are among the most important infectious disease problems in the poultry industry and new preventive and control strategies are urgently needed. ND virus (NDV) and particularly AIV spread via migratory birds, especially waterfowl, among birds within a country, between countries and even between continents. Importantly, the Republic of Turkey is geographically situated in one of the world’s most important migratory bird flyways.
