Abstract
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian virus that has not been isolated from naturally infected non-avian and non-human hosts except for one report in which it was isolated from cattle in 1952. We report here for the first time the isolation and identification of NDV from sheep and suggest that this virus be included in the screening of viruses from non-avian hosts.
