Serological survey was conducted to detect avian paramyxovirus type-3 (PMV-3) antibodies in commerCial and backyard chicken flocks using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HI). Two hundred and twelve chicken serum samples were collected from several commercial farms and back yard bird-flocks in Saudi Arabia. The serum samples were collected from birds with different ages (from one-day old to 62 weeks). Results from samples collected from back yard birds showed that 35.70% (20 out of 56) were positive using the HI test and 44.46% (25 out of 56) were positive using the ELISA respectively. Antibodies to PMV-3 were also detected in 41.02% (64 out of 156) and 85 54.48% (85 out of 156) of serum samples collected from commercial farms using the HI and the ELISA tests respectively.
