Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute, highly contagious, world organization for animal health (OIE) notifiable and economically important transboundary viral disease of sheep and goats associated with high morbidity and mortality and caused by PPR virus.

Dec 28, 2023 · Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is caused by a morbillivirus from the Paramyxoviridae family. PPR is an acute, highly contagious, and deadly disease that mostly affects goats and sheep, with cattle experiencing subclinical infection.

The H and F genes of the RPV were replaced by corresponding genes from PPRV, resulting in chimeric RPV-PPRV recombinant virus vaccine (Das et al., 2000). Virus-specific serological response in such vaccines can be identified by specific ELISAs and therefore allowing discrimination of infected and vaccinated animals.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious and acute viral disease of sheep and goats that causes great economic losses due to the high levels of morbidity and mortality often observed.

Despite safe and efficacious vaccines against peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), this virus has emerged as the cause of a highly contagious disease with serious economic consequences for small ruminant agriculture across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Jan 1, 2016 · Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of small ruminants that causes mortality rates that may be as high as 50–80% in naïve populations (Diallo and Libeau, 2014).

Dec 1, 2019 · Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is recognized as kata, ovine rinderpest, goat plague, or stomatitis-pneumoenteritis syndrome. It is a highly infectious viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa (Banyard et al., 2010).

5 days ago · For years, RPV, closely related to PPRV, has hidden PPRV presence in livestock as it provided cross-protection against PPRV (Romero et al. 1995). Surveillance and vaccination of PPR is already ongoing in several countries.

Antibodies against PPRV are both cross neutralizing and Cross protective. A vaccinia virus double recombinant expressing H and F glycoproteins of RPV has been shown to protect goats against PPR disease though the animals develop

Aug 15, 2017 · Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious, fatal and economically important disease of both domestic and wild small ruminants, and camels. Owing to high morbidity (100%) and mortality (90%), PPR was included in the OIE (Office International des Epizooties) list of notifiable terrestrial animal diseases.
