“…Mange, plant poisoning or tick infestations are common. Emerging diseases provoking high mortality are also regularly described Khalafalla et al, 2010;Roger et al, 2000). Because of the increase in the risk of trans-boundary diseases in camel, the World Animal Health Organization (OIE) in Paris has implemented one ad-hoc group of experts on camel diseases for establishing rules and standards (nomenclature of diseases, diagnosis kits, references lab, etc).…”

In some countries, camel farming is changing from traditional extensive forms to modern semi-intensive or even intensive forms. This could lead to decrease the established perception of the camel farming as an environmentally sustainable production system. The challenges for all camel stakeholders to maintain this image and to promote a "sustainable development" involve the control of the camel demography which must be balanced with the environmental carrying capacity, the preservation of the camel diversity, the development of alternative feeding systems for preserving the water resources in desert areas, the promotion of high-value products to the growing market, the control of the health constraints for a highly mobile camel population, and the respect of the social role of camel in the new living standard.

“…This factor heightened interest in the Moroccan cases enabling rapid vaccination programmes to be implemented with approximately 20.6 million of Morocco's sheep and goat population being vaccinated. Genetic characterization of the Moroccan virus classified it as a lineage IV virus (FAO, 2009;Khalafalla et al, 2010). The origin of the Moroccan outbreak remains unknown although studies have recently presented serological evidence for PPRV infection in Tunisia (Ayari-Fakhfakh et al, 2010) so the virus may well be present across other, as yet unknown, regions of North Africa.…”

“…However, few of these reports discriminate between (i) species that can be infected subclinically, seroconvert but do not shed virus (spill-over or dead-end infections); (ii) species that develop disease and which actively secrete infectious virus; and (iii) species in which infection is clinically inapparent but the animal remains infectious, shedding virus. Even where a specific pathogenesis has been related to isolated PPRV, as was the case with camels [37], follow-up investigations in which the isolated virus has been reintroduced into naïve camels have not been performed. It is important that such observations should be extended robustly to correlate pathogenesis, antibody responses and virus excretion.…”

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a significant pathogen of small ruminants and is prevalent in much of Africa, the Near and Middle East and Asia. Despite the availability of an efficacious and cheap live-attenuated vaccine, the virus has continued to spread, with its range stretching from Morocco in the west to China and Mongolia in the east. Some of the world's poorest communities rely on small ruminant farming for subsistence and the continued endemicity of PPRV is a constant threat to their livelihoods. Moreover, PPRV's effects on the world's population are felt broadly across many economic, agricultural and social situations. This far-reaching impact has prompted the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to develop a global strategy for the eradication of this virus and its disease. PPRV is a morbillivirus and, given the experience of these organizations in eradicating the related rinderpest virus, the eradication of PPRV should be feasible. However, there are many critical areas where basic and applied virological research concerning PPRV is lacking. The purpose of this review is to highlight areas where new research could be performed in order to guide and facilitate the eradication programme. These areas include studies on disease transmission and epidemiology, the existence of wildlife reservoirs and the development of next-generation vaccines and diagnostics. With the support of the international virology community, the successful eradication of PPRV can be achieved.
