Abstract
Methanol-precipitated, detergent-treated (Triton X-100) Newcastle dise ase vii us (NDV) was found suitable as an agar gel precipitation test (AGPT) antigen. One hundred and twenty sera were tested by the haemagg lutination-inhibition (HI) test and AGPT against NDV. There was a very significant increase in the proportion of AGPT positive samples with increase in HI titre. Hence AGPT can be recommended as a field based t est for seronmonitoring following vaccinations against ND where labora tory facilities are inadequate.
