Velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease. Many of the eggs shown here are rough, misshapen, and thin-shelled. These findings are often present in viscerotropic velogenic Newcastle and infectious bronchitis infections, where fever stalls the normal movement of the egg through the oviduct, causing deformed and defective shells.
