Peste des petits ruminants in Africa: a review of currently available molecular epidemiological data, 2020

Small ruminants (e.g., sheep and goats) contribute considerably to the cash income and nutrition of small farmers in most countries in Africa and Asia. Their husbandry is threatened by the highly infectious transboundary viral disease peste des petits ruminants (PPR) caused by peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (PPRV). Given its social and economic impact, PPR is presently being targeted by international organizations for global eradication by 2030. Since its first description in Côte d’Ivoire in 1942, and particularly over the last 10 years, a large amount of molecular epidemiological data on the virus have been generated in Africa. This review aims to consolidate these data in order to have a clearer picture of the current PPR situation in Africa, which will, in turn, assist authorities in global eradication attempts.

“…While the factors that predispose wildlife to lineage IV are not well defined, the wider distribution of lineage IV and its potential to cause pathologies in small ruminants are potential survival factors. Primarily, the lineage IV is the most dominant group of PPRV in disease-endemic countries [22][23][24][25] and this dominance further supports its distribution in susceptible hosts including wild and unusual animal species.…”

“…Thus, it is not surprising that there is a close relationship between viruses isolated from different host species in the same geographical area, likely reflecting a spillover from domestic animals to wildlife [20][21][22]. A few of such evidences include disease outbreaks in Saudi Arabia [20], gazelle in UAE [21], ibex in Pakistan [22], bharal in Tibet [23], and water-deer in China [24]. Additionally, due to extensive animal movements such as in the Himalayas and Pamir region between Pakistan, Nepal, China, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, potential inter-species transmission with a closely related virus is not unusual [25].…”

A comparative phylogenomic analysis of peste des petits ruminants virus isolated from wild and unusual hosts

Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) infects a wide range of domestic and wild ruminants, and occasionally unusual hosts such as camel, cattle and pig. Given their broad host-spectrum and disease endemicity in several developing countries, it is imperative to elucidate the viral evolutionary insights for their dynamic pathobiology and differential host-selection. For this purpose, a dataset of all available (n=37) PPRV sequences originating from wild and unusual hosts was composed and in silico analysed. Compared to domestic small ruminant strains of same geographical region, phylogenomic and residue analysis of PPRV sequences originating from wild and unusual hosts revealed a close relationship between strains. A lack of obvious difference among the studied sequences and deduced residues suggests that these are the host factors that may play a role in their susceptibility to PPRV infection, immune response, pathogenesis, excretion patterns and potential clinical signs or resistance to clinical disease. Summarizing together, the comparative analysis enhances our understanding towards molecular epidemiology of the PPRV in wild and unusual hosts for appropriate intervention strategies particularly at livestock-wildlife interface.

“…Interestingly six Mongolia gazelles (Procapra gutturosa) found dead in a pasture were also discovered to be infected by PPRV lineage IV based on the clinical, serological, and molecular evidences. Above all, an outbreak of PPRV lineage II in Hydropotes inermis (water deer), a rare wild ruminant endemic to China has been reported (32). Experimentally infected West African dwarf goats also showed PPRV virulence (75).…”

Expanding Diversity of Susceptible Hosts in Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus Infection and Its Potential Mechanism Beyond

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a severe respiratory and digestive tract disease of domestic small ruminants caused by PPR virus (PPRV) of the genus Morbillivirus. Although the primary hosts of PPRV are goats and sheep, the host range of PPRV has been continuously expanding and reported to infect various animal hosts over the last decades, which could bring a potential challenge to effectively control and eradicate PPR globally. In this review, we focused on current knowledge about host expansion and interspecies infection of PPRV and discussed the potential mechanisms involved.
