... NORWAY An example of a daring yet successful campaign in the face of an act not especially well designed or heeded by owners at first, and started with incomplete knowledge of disease prevalence, plus difficult rules about common pasteurizing. Essentially: blood samples from infected herds taken twice annually and reactors sold for slaughter; Stables disinfected.

... "DEVELOPMENT OF INTENSIVE ERADICATION PROGRAMMES There were a number of contenders in the early 1960's to be the next disease to be eradicated after tuberculosis. Unfortunately the attempted control through slaughter of the 1960-61 Newcastle disease panzootic made the government reluctant to embark on another expensive programme.
