“…Since the later part of 1980s, the PPR further spread to countries of central and eastern Africa and parts of Asia. Evidence of PPR infection based on either serological tests and/or clinical investigations has been reported from several other countries [77].…”

“…Lineages I-III circulate in Africa, while lineage IV is generally found in Asia [39,128]. However, a recent appearance of lineage IV, which was associated with a large epizootic in Morocco, undermines the probable risk of introduction this lineage to Europe [77] and other parts of the world. PPR was first reported in the Ivory Coast, West Africa [56], and later from other parts of the world namely sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Indian subcontinent [128,130].…”

“…PPR was first reported in the Ivory Coast, West Africa [56], and later from other parts of the world namely sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Indian subcontinent [128,130]. Spread of disease to a number of new countries in Africa and Asia with involvement of various lineage of PPRV is a cause of global concern especially recent introduction of Asian lineage in some African countries and presence of PPR in Europe through Western Turkey [1,17,77,102]. This transboundary nature of the disease is one of the main constraints in augmenting the productivity of small ruminants in enzootic regions including the parts of Africa, the Middle East and the parts of Asia.…”

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. PPR is considered as one of the main constraints in augmenting the productivity of small ruminants in developing countries and particularly severely affects poor farmer's economy. The disease is clinically manifested by pyrexia, oculo-nasal discharges, necrotizing and erosive stomatitis, gastroenteritis, diarrhoea and bronchopneumonia. The disease can be diagnosed from its clinical signs, pathological lesions, and specific detection of virus antigen/antibodies/genome in the clinical samples by various serological tests and molecular assays. PPR is the one of the priority animal diseases whose control is considered important for poverty alleviation in enzootic countries. Availability of effective and safe live attenuated cell culture PPR vaccines and diagnostics have boosted the recently launched centrally sponsored control programme in India and also in other countries. This review article primarily focus on the current scenario of PPR diagnosis and its control programme with advancement of research areas that have taken place in the recent years with future perspectives.

“…There is no evidence that these lineages vary in their pathogenicity -rather they are a reflection of the distinct geographical origins of the viruses (allopatricity) and allow limited conclusions to be drawn as to the origin of new outbreaks, e.g. it was clear that the virus that caused the first outbreaks in Africa north of the Sahara was lineage IV, and so must have come from Turkey or the Middle East, since only lineages I, II and III were circulating in sub-Saharan Africa at that time [16,17].…”

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a significant pathogen of small ruminants and is prevalent in much of Africa, the Near and Middle East and Asia. Despite the availability of an efficacious and cheap live-attenuated vaccine, the virus has continued to spread, with its range stretching from Morocco in the west to China and Mongolia in the east. Some of the world's poorest communities rely on small ruminant farming for subsistence and the continued endemicity of PPRV is a constant threat to their livelihoods. Moreover, PPRV's effects on the world's population are felt broadly across many economic, agricultural and social situations. This far-reaching impact has prompted the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to develop a global strategy for the eradication of this virus and its disease. PPRV is a morbillivirus and, given the experience of these organizations in eradicating the related rinderpest virus, the eradication of PPRV should be feasible. However, there are many critical areas where basic and applied virological research concerning PPRV is lacking. The purpose of this review is to highlight areas where new research could be performed in order to guide and facilitate the eradication programme. These areas include studies on disease transmission and epidemiology, the existence of wildlife reservoirs and the development of next-generation vaccines and diagnostics. With the support of the international virology community, the successful eradication of PPRV can be achieved.

“…However, the disease in cattle and buffalo with poor body condition and stress has also been reported with the signs resembling with that of rinderpest [8,9,10,11,12]. The disease mainly effects sheeps and goats but it is more severe in goats where it causes heavy losses [13].…”

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute or subacute viral disease of goats and sheep characterized by fever, necrotic stomatitis, gastroenteritis, pneumonia, and sometimes death. The virus also affects several wild small ruminant species. Cattle, buffalo, and pigs are only sub clinically infected. People are not at risk. The disease is of heavy economic significance in small ruminant industry and ranks among the top ten diseases affecting small ruminants. Isolation and quarantine measures, slaughtering of positive animals, proper disposal of infected materials, proper disinfection of utensils and other items of flock are crucial for control of PPR. PPR leads to heavy economic setbacks to the farmers. With the aims and objectives to flourish small ruminant farming and maximizing profit, a few key points should be rigorously adopted.
