“…The disease then expresses itself in epizootic outbreaks that appear with a seasonal frequency. These results are in agreement with other studies (Singh et al, 2004;Folitse et al, 2017), who observed higher prevalence in the dry season. This increase could be related to animal movement, animals flocked from one place to another that favor the spread of the virus (Dhar et al, 2002).…”

“…The disease is endemic in the Arabian Pennsylvania, the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bhutan as well as Bangladesh (Muhammad et al, 2010). The World Organization for Animal Health has recently been identified PPR as a serious notifiable and economically important transboundary viral disease of sheep and goats to jeopardize with high morbidity and mortality (Diallo et al, 2007;Folitse et al, 2017;Birindwa et al, 2017). Clinically, the disease is characterized by high fever, oculo-nasal discharges, necrotizing and erosive stomatitis, diarrhoea, and dyspnea bronchopneumonia followed by either death or recovery from the disease (Balamurugan et al, 2012;Sharma et al, 2012;Jaisree et al, 2018).…”

“…Overall prevalence in this study was estimated as 15.17% (95% ) in goats and 9.17% (95% CI: 9.02-9.32) in sheep. In comparison to other PPR endemic country prevalence in Ghana was recorded as 6.84% and in Laos 1.7%, whereas in Djibouti prevalence was 6% in small ruminants (Burns et al, 2019;Moumin and Moussa, 2018;Folitse et al, 2017). In parts of Egypt the overall morbidity of PPR was found 54.2% which is higher than the estimated prevalence in Bangladesh (Elhaig et al, 2018).…”
