“…Regardless of the level of viral presence within an area seromonitoring through surveillance initiatives, as used successfully during the different RPV eradication programmes, remains a critical tool in combating PPRV infection and preventing further spread. A number of factors can be used in order to gain an understanding of the epidemiological picture of PPRV infection within a region; antibody prevalence (Abraham et al, 2005;Singh et al, 2004); the presence of viral antigen in tissues from naturally infected animals (Yener et al, 2004); the role of colostral antibody dynamics in protection levels (Awa et al, 2002) and haemagglutination test results (Odo, 2003) are all considered to be of great use.…”

“…Despite of the strict vaccination programs and other preventive and clinical measures the PPR outbreaks are frequent. Moreover, different type of PPR vaccines including conventional, thermostable, recombinant and edible vaccines has been developed and used from control/eradication of said disease world widely [ 9 , 10 , 12 , 69 ].…”

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is considered to be one of the main constraints to enhancing the productivity of goats and sheep in regions where it is present and becoming endemic. PPR was recognized in Pakistan in early 1990s but got importance during the Participatory Disease Surveillance (PDS) of Rinderpest Eradication Campaign. Lot of research work has been initiated during last decade towards disease epidemiology, risk factor recognition, laboratory diagnosis, vaccination and demonstration of control strategies. Although there are ongoing projects working towards the progressive control of the disease in country yet there is need to have a national level control program for PPR. Also there is need to have comprehensive social economic surveys, disease hot spot recognition and identification of role of other species in disease transmission. With combined efforts of local and national authorities and political will, there is high likelihood that this devastating disease can be controlled and eventually eradicated in near future.

“…There are many documented reports of the endemic nature of PPRV in Nigeria (El-Yuguda et al 2010; Emikpe & Akpavie 2010; Ezeibe et al 2008; Ibu et al 2008; Isoun & Mann 1972; Obi et al 1983; Obidike et al 2006; Odo 2003; Ogunsanmi et al 2003; Okoli 2003; Shamaki 2002; Taylor & Abegunde 1979; Ularamu et al 2012). Outbreaks have continued to occur in the country during the last 40 years, despite the introduction of the tissue culture rinderpest vaccine against PPRV in the 1980s and the use of the homologous PPRV vaccine (Diallo 2003; Diallo et al 1989) since 1998.…”

Peste des petits ruminants, caused by the peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), is a highly contagious and economically important transboundary viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants and a major hindrance to small-ruminant production in Nigeria. The seroprevalence and distribution of PPRV antibodies in small ruminants in rural households, farms, live animal markets and slaughter slabs across the six different agro-ecological zones of Nigeria were determined. A total of 4548 serum samples from 3489 goats and 1059 sheep were collected in 12 states. A PPRV competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to test the samples and the data analysed with R statistical software version 3.0.1. The study animals included all ages and both sexes. The overall prevalence estimate of sera positive for PPRV antibodies was 23.16% (n = 1018 positive samples per 4548 total samples, 95% confidence interval: 21.79% - 24.57%). There were significant differences in the seroprevalence between the states (p = 0.001). Taraba State had the highest seroprevalence of 29.51%, whilst the lowest seroprevalence of 14.52% was observed in Cross River State. There were no significant differences in the PPRV seroprevalence between male and female animals (p = 0.571), age (p = 0.323) and between species (p = 0.639). These data indicate the current seroprevalence to PPRV in the small-ruminant population in Nigeria.
