Abstract
Twelve young houbara bustards (Chlamydotis undulata) were vaccinated w ith a lentogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus. Another seven bird s were kept in close contact with the treated flock but were not vacci nated. Antibody levels were measured in all birds with hemagglutinatio n inhibition test over the course of 1 yr. Antibody formation with no side effects was observed in 18 birds. The duration and amplitude of t he antibody response differed between the groups.
