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.

“…Small wild ruminant species and antelope are also severely affected (Elzein et al, 2004). The PPR is one of the diseases classified as Transboundary Animal Diseases (Zahur et al, 2011). The typical form of PPR is associated with anorexia, pyrexia, ulceration, necrosis of mucous membranes, sores in mouth, mucopurulant nasal and ocular discharges, pneumonia, inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and diarrhea (Abubakar et al, 2011;Roeder and Obi, 1999;Ullah et al, 2014).…”

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants causing high morbidity and mortality (up to 100%) and thus, has serious socioeconomic implications. In Pakistan, estimated losses due to PPR during the year 2012-13 were worth Pakistan Rs. 31.51 billion. Close contact between infected and susceptible animal is an important route of transmission of PPR. Therefore, carrier animals play an important role in unnoticed transmission of the disease. Limited information is available about the persistence of PPR virus in goats. Hence, the objective of the study was to investigate the persistence of PPR virus (PPRV) in goats recovered from PPR. A suspected PPR outbreak in sub-urban area of Lahore district of the Punjab Province in Pakistan was investigated. The outbreak was confirmed as PPR after analyzing appropriate samples (nasal/ocular swabs, fecal and tissue samples) collected from the infected animals. A longitudinal study was conducted over a period of 16 weeks to ascertain the persistence of PPRV in the fecal samples of recovered goats (n=96) collected at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after the outbreak. Samples were analyzed using RT-PCR. Of the 96 fecal samples, 46, 37, 29 and 7 goats remained positive for PPRV genome at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after recovery, respectively. The results revealed the detection of PPRV genome in goats at 16 weeks after recovery. Therefore, it can be concluded that PPR disease has a carrier potential and goats recovered from PPR infection may act as source of carrier animals.

Background Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a prevalent viral disease of sheep and goats that impacts productivity and international animal trade. Despite the substantial economic consequences related to PPR, little is known about the prevalence of this disease at the broad geographical levels. Objective The present study aimed to use a systematic approach to assess the regional prevalence of PPR in sheep and goats, and the associated factors that contribute to prevalence estimates. Methods Published articles on PPR in sheep and goats were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and the reference lists of articles reporting the prevalence from 1 January 1969 to 31 December 2018. Articles were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Since the heterogeneity among the studies was significant, pooled prevalences were estimated by a random effect meta‐analysis model. Results Data on the prevalence of PPR were obtained from Africa and Asia, where the pooled prevalence estimates were 40.99% (95% CI: 37.20%–44.79%) and 38.43% (95% CI: 35.64%–41.22%) respectively. Overall, the estimated pooled prevalence at Africa‐Asia level in sheep was 39.31% (95% CI: 35.75%–42.88%) and in goats was 39.57% (95% CI: 36.66%–42.48%). Significant heterogeneity (I2 > 80%) was noted in most pooled estimates. Conclusion The results on the regional prevalence estimates of PPR presented here will be useful in raising awareness and advocating for Governments to engage in initiatives to eradicate PPR and prevent it from spreading to other continents.
