A descriptive analysis of the potenrial association between migration patterns of bean and white-fronted geese and the occurence of newcastle disease outbreaks in domestic birds
- Sightings and migration patterns of 65 bean and 65 white-fronted geese are reported. These geese were tagged and serologically screened. 19 of the 53 birds sighted had serologic evidence of Newcastle Disease. The migration patterns of the wild geese provided further evidence that the main resting and wintering sites of migratory waterfowl are likely to be important for the inter- and intraspecies transmission of avian diseases.
