“…These findings are in consistence with those reported earlier [10] [22]. It was also found that isolation and quarantine of early cases during an outbreak proved effective in preventing the further spread of disease.…”

The current study reports the outbreaks of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in the small ruminant population of Pakistan. The objectives were to understand the clinical picture of disease under field conditions, estimate the basic epidemiological parameters for the local population of small ruminants and to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of PPR during 2005 to 2007 in Pakistan. A total of 62 outbreaks were investigated among sheep and goat flocks in the five provinces of Pakistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK). The PPR virus activity in these outbreaks was demonstrated by clinical picture and presence of PPR virus specific antibodies by employing cELISA. The combined estimates of mean cumulative morbidity and mortality for sheep and goats were estimated 65.37% and 26.51% respectively with a case fatality of 40.40%. The species specific mean cumulative morbidity, mortality and case fatality for goats were 68.80%, 29.45% and 42.75% respectively, while these estimates for sheep were 48.77%, 14.98% and of 26.16% respectively. These estimates for goats were significantly higher (P < 0.001 to P = 0.001) than those for sheep. It was concluded that PPR is wide spread throughout the country and epidemiological picture suggest that disease has established as an endemic infection in the country.

“…The mortality in acute outbreak reaches 80% with the affected animal dying between 10 -12 days [22]. Similar estimates for morbidity, mortality and case fatality have been reported (52.11%, 21.14% and 40.57% respectively) at village farms and an overall mortality of 23.1% in Black Bengal goats in Bangladesh [23].…”

“…(2005) and Blood et al, (1995 ) they found that more prevalence of PPR in goats were under 1 year of age, specially 4-12 months of age. Taylor et al, (1990) also reported the susceptibility of young animals aged 3 to 18 months was proved to be very high. Radostits et al, (2000) and Singh et al (2004) also assessed that most prevalent in the goats less than one year.…”

“…PPR has been recognized as a highly contagious viral disease of small ruminants, particularly in goats in Bangladesh (Islam et al, 2001). The PPR virus is considered as one of the predisposing factor for respiratory disease complex in goats (Taylor et al, 1990). It is a highly contagious, infectious and fatal viral disease of domestic and small ruminants (Abdallalet al, 2012).…”

A study was conducted at Bagmara upazilla under the district of Rajshahi in Bangladesh during the period of 2 month from 20 September 2015 to 14 November 2015 to determine the prevalence of PPR in goat. A total of 72 diseases cases were recorded randomly irrespective of age, sex and breed over the study period. In the present study the overall prevalence of PPR in goat was 27.78%. In black Bengal goat, the prevalence of PPR in different age group i.e. up to 6 month, 7-12 month, 13-19 month, above 19 month were 18.18%, 42.30%, 22.22% and 12.50%, respectively. Over all, female black bengal goat (46.42%) was more infected than male (12.00%). The prevalence of PPR in different age group i.e. 7-12 month, 13-19 month were 42.85% and 25.00%, respectively; and males (16.66%) and female (23.07%) of Jamunapari goat were recorder. In general, black bengal goats have the higher prevalence (30.18%) than Jamunapari goat (21.05%). The nonimmunized goat showed higher prevalence (38.77%) than immunized (4.34%) goat. All data were analyzed by using 2 tests with P value at (P<0.05) level of significance. Rahman et al. Prevalence of peste des petits ruminant (PPR) in goat in Rajshahi districtRes.

Comparison of genes as target for molecular diagnosis of peste des petits ruminants in goats

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are an acute viral disease of sheep and goats. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential for successful control. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a molecular diagnostic test based on amplification of the gene target is more sensitive than other tests. The study was to find an efficient primer set and structural gene, which would be more specific and sensitive for detecting PPR virus (PPRV) in field samples. Six primer sets for six structural genes of PPR were used. Primer against NP gene (np3/np4) was specific and sensitive. To ensure efficient amplification and detection of viruses in field samples, more than one set of primers should be used and F and N gene specific primers were the most suitable. (Bangl. vet.
