Abstract
Twenty six Newcastle disease viruses - 12 reference strains and 14 strains isolated in Kenya and Kazakhstan - were characterized by means of a large p anel of 38 monoclonal antibodies (MAB) directed against all the three envel ope proteins: matrix, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase and fusion. The essential distinctions were revealed between the viruses isolated in Kenya and Kazak hstan while the differences amongst the viruses belonging to the same local group were much smaller. The heterogeneity amongst the viruses isolated in Kenya was more expressed as compared to the Kazakhstanian strains. (C) 200 0 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
