The following is the first detailed description of laboratory confirmed evidence of peste des petits ruminant virus (PPRV) in 14 districts of Sindh province, Pakistan. Sindh is the 2nd largest province of Pakistan in terms of human population and livestock. Livestock are the main origin of the people's livelihood. Samples were collected during the surveillance programme from sheep and goats showing severe respiratory signs and mouth lesions. Competitive enzyme-linked immuno-sorbant assay (cELISA) was performed to detect the presence of antibodies in the serum against PPRV. Findings suggested that the overall PPR sero-prevalence in sheep was 49.5% when compared to goats, which was 56.3%. As we observed during an 18 months' period, most of the cases that occurred emerged with the start of hot season and peaked during the months of April, May, June and July, and then the prevalence dropped. Among various age groups, the animals that showed the higher prevalence of antibodies to PPRV were >2 years. In the age group <1 year, there was a significant difference in the prevalence which was 48.6% in goats when compared to 32.1% in sheep. Similarly, it was the same in the second age group (1-2 years), 46.9% in sheep when compared to 55.3% goats. There was little variation in the third age group (>2 years), being around 61.7% in goats when compared to 63.4% in sheep. The highest sero-prevalence was in Tharparkar followed by Mirpur Khas and Tando Allahyar. The study indicated the scenario of PPRV circulation in the population of the two domestic ruminant species (sheep and goats) with frequent disease outbreaks.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a severe viral disease of small ruminants caused by a Morbillivirus closely related to rinderpest virus. It is widespread in Africa and Asia and is currently also found in Turkey and Northern Africa. PPR is transmitted via direct contact, and the disease would mainly be transferred to infection-free areas by transport of infected animals. In the EU, it could only happen through illegal transport of animals. The risk of that depends on the prevalence in the country of origin and the number of animals illegally moved. The extent of the spread would depend mainly on the time during which it is undetected, the farm density, the frequency and distance of travel of animals. PPR has a high within-herd transmission rate, therefore contacts between flocks, e.g. through common grazing areas, should be avoided when PPR is present. If PPR enters EU areas with dense sheep population but low goat density, it may spread rapidly undetected, since goats are considered more susceptible than sheep. Effective measures in limiting the spread of PPR in the EU include prompt culling of infected herds, rapid detection, movement restriction, and disinfection. Live attenuated vaccines against PPR are available, safe and effective, and have been successfully used to control PPR epidemics, but no method exists for differentiating between infected and vaccinated animals; therefore, the development of one is recommended. Awareness-raising campaigns for farmers and veterinary staff to promote recognition of the disease should be considered. The cooperation of the EU with neighbouring countries should be encouraged to prevent the spread of PPR and other transboundary diseases. In particular, EFSA was asked to (i) characterise the disease and provide an update on the global occurrence of PPR and changes in the distribution during the last 10 years; (ii) map the region of concern and other countries of the Mediterranean Basin and Black Sea, displaying identified, or likely, major live animal trade routes; (iii) evaluate all possible pathways of introduction of PPR into the EU, ranking them on the basis of their level of risk, with a view to enhancing preparedness and prevention; (iv) assess the risk of introduction and speed of propagation of PPR into the EU and neighbouring countries; (v) assess the risk of PPR becoming endemic in animal populations in the EU; (vi) assess the impact PPR would have if it were to enter the EU, considering different scenarios as regards the effectiveness of surveillance and control measures; and (vii) review the feasibility, availability and effectiveness of the main disease prevention and control measures (diagnostic tools, biosecurity measures, restrictions on movement, culling). © EuropeanRegarding disease characterisation, the AHAW Panel reported that PPR is a severe viral disease of small ruminants caused by a Morbillivirus closely related to rinderpest virus. It is widespread in Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia. It is one of the priority animal diseases wh...

“…The disease is characterized by high fever, necrotic stomatitis, catarrhal inflammation of the ocular and nasal mucosae, dyspnea, diarrhea and death [1]. In epidemic areas, morbidity rate has been estimated between 80-90% and mortality between 50-80% [5]. Necropsy of diseased goats revealed congested and consolidated pneumonic lungs, generalized enlargement of lymphnodes accompanied with necrosis and congestion of some lymphnodes, atrophied congested spleen and hemorrhagic gastroenteritis [6].…”

The present study was conducted in the Panchlaish Upazilla Veterinary Hospital of Chittagong district during the period of July to September, 2013 to find out the prevalence and clinico-pathological findings of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in goats, and to observe the response of PPR-goats to different treatments. During the course of study 202 goats were examined of which 98 were PPR positive. Diagnosis of a PPR case was made following the clinical examinations. The results showes that the median age of PPR-goats was higher compared with the healthy ones. The median per-rectum temperature, heart and respiratory rates were also higher in the the PPR-postive goats. No significant difference was seen on its prevalence in goats belonging to Black Bengal or Jamunapari breeds. Its occurence was also evenly seen in each of the three months-July, August and September. But, prevalence of PPR was significantly higher in the nonvaccinated goats. Some hematological parameters except neutrophil count was lower in PPR goats. The recovery rate from clinical signs was higher in goats treated with parenteral administration of oxytetracycline.
