RESUMO

Brazilian chicken meat exports ended 2007 with shipments of 3,3 million tons, which represented a 21% increase in comparison with 2006. These results were the best in the history of the poultry sector in Brazil. The production reached 10.2 million tons, a result that kept the country as the worlds largest chicken meat exporter and the third largest producer, only behind USA and China. Thus the risk of an introduction of the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) into domestic poultry is enormous and will play severe consequences for the economy and poltry industries. In order to provide the surveillance of the NDV in wild, free or captive, and non vaccinated domestic birds from some regions of migratory birds confluence in Brazil and in penguins around the brasilian Antarctic Station Comandante Ferraz, we collected oral and cloacal swabs, for the viral detection by Real Time PCR (qPCR), and blood for the serological test (hemaglutination inhibition test HI). A total of 1072 birds were sampled in diferent regions of Brazil, where 8 (0.75%) shown positive results to NDV, in which 5 (62.5% of positive) were from North region, 2 (25% of positive) were from Northeast and 1 (12,5% of positive) was from South. In the Antarctic 100 penguins were studied, in which 2 were detected the NDV (2% of total). HI test showed that 33.3% of penguins were seropositives for NDV, indicating their previous contact with the pathogen. All the positive samples by qPCR were repeated with primers projected to detect only virulent strains and no sample was positive, indicating the absence of velogenic strains in Brazil. The epidemiological profile was richer with the isolament of positive samples in embrioned chiken eggs specific patogen free and latter nucleotidic genomic sequencing of isolate.
