Introduction: Livestock husbandry is critical for food security and poverty reduction in a low-income country like Tanzania. Infectious disease is one of the major constraints reducing the productivity in this sector. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is one of the most important diseases affecting small ruminants, but other infectious diseases may also be present. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence and risk factors for exposure to PPR, contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP), foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), bluetongue (BT), and bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) in sheep and goats in Tanzania. Methods: Serum samples were collected in 2014 and 2015, and analysed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to detect antibodies to the five pathogens. Results and discussion: This is the first description of seroprevalence of FMD and BT among small ruminants in Tanzania. Risk factor analysis identified sex (female) (OR for 2014: PPR: 2.49, CCPP: 3.11, FMD: 2.98, BT: 12.4, OR for 2015: PPR: 14.1, CCPP: 1.10, FMD: 2.67, BT: 1.90, BVD: 4.73) and increasing age (>2 years) (OR for 2014: PPR: 14.9, CCPP: 2.34, FMD: 7.52, BT: 126, OR for 2015: PPR: 8.13, CCPP: 1.11, FMD: 2.98, BT: 7.83, BVD: 4.74) as risk factors for exposure to these diseases.

“…Although these techniques are these nomadic animals for their livelihood. So the easy to perform but are of little value due to their low present study was conducted with aim to assess the sensitive and specificity [11,12]. Currently, a kit incidence of PPR in nomadic sheep and goats of developed by Singh et al [11] is being used extensively Jammu region of J&K state.…”

Aim: The present study was planned with an aim to access the incidence of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in nomadic sheep and goat of Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) state of India. Materials and Methods:A total of 34 nasal swabs (13 sheep and 21 goats) samples of 13 flocks suspected for PPR infection were screened for presence of PPR virus antigen by PPR sandwich-ELISA kit. Results:The overall incidence of PPR by sandwich ELISA was observed to be 55.55%, with higher incidence in goats (66.66%) than in sheep (35.71%). Location wise incidence of PPR ranged between 33.33-100%. The overall age wise incidence of PPR was highest in young animals of 0-6 months (83.33%), followed by 6-12 months (66.66%) and lowest in adults of >12 months (31.35 %). Whereas month wise incidence of PPR was highest in the month of February. Conclusion:In nut shell it can be concluded that PPR is fairly prevalent in nomadic sheep and goats of Jammu region of J&K state with the evidences of natural transmission of PPR.

“…Morbillivirus of Family paramyxoviradae produce an important contagious disease in sheep and goat called Peste des petits ruminant (PPR) known as "Small ruminant plague" (Zahur et al, 2011;Mahajan et al, 2012). There is very close relationship between PPR virus and Rinderpest virus (Abubakar et al, 2008;Rajak et al, 2005).…”

“…Signs of the disease includes rise in temperature, diarrhea (Figure 1), ocular and muco-purulent nasal discharge ( Figure 2~3), lesions on the gums from which blood is oozing out (Figure 4), pneumonia and coughing and if remain untreated then cause the death of the animal (Mahajan et al, 2012). Lymphopenia is seen in case of PPR virus infection (Rajak et al, 2005).…”

This case study signifies the diagnosis of Peste des Petits ruminants (PPR) in 2 year old buck of discrete breed on the basis of clinical signs and Hematology. Case presented to Department of Clinics Medicine and Surgery (CMS), Faculty of Veterinary Sciences (FVS) at University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan (UAF) with chief complain of anorexia, watery diarrhea, ocular discharge and muco-purulent nasal discharge from last 4 days. Clinical examination revealed high fever 104.4*F, increase in respiration and pulse rate as 38/min, and 112/min respectively. Capillary refill time was more than 3 seconds indicating dehydration (CRT >3). Lesions were visible on gums in oral cavity and lymph nodes were swollen. Complete blood count (CBC) showed lymphopenia. Disease was diagnosed as PPR on clinical basis and history. Treatment was done symptomatically for 7 days because of unavailability of specific treatment. Animal started showing recovery signs from 5 th day and recovered completely at 10 th day after visit.
