Abstract:The sero-surveillance and immunization studies on Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in non-descriptive indigenous sheep and Black Bengal goats aged between 5 to 12 months were carried out in the district of Mymensingh during the period from June to November 2003. Sero-prevalence of PPR by using competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (C-ELISA) was conducted on 100 sheep and 100 goats which were selected randomly from 10 different areas in the district of Mymensingh. Of the 100 sheep and 100 goats tested, … Show more
“…In the present study, the disease differed significantly ( P<0.05) between vaccinated and non vaccinated goats, suggesting that non vaccinated animals are at a higher risk to PPR. Vaccination against PPR leads to decrease in the disease prevalence but cannot protect absolutely [16]. This efficacy of PPR vaccine in reducing the prevalence of PPR was also reported [17].…”
The present study was conducted in the Panchlaish Upazilla Veterinary Hospital of Chittagong district during the period of July to September, 2013 to find out the prevalence and clinico-pathological findings of Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in goats, and to observe the response of PPR-goats to different treatments. During the course of study 202 goats were examined of which 98 were PPR positive. Diagnosis of a PPR case was made following the clinical examinations. The results showes that the median age of PPR-goats was higher compared with the healthy ones. The median per-rectum temperature, heart and respiratory rates were also higher in the the PPR-postive goats. No significant difference was seen on its prevalence in goats belonging to Black Bengal or Jamunapari breeds. Its occurence was also evenly seen in each of the three months-July, August and September. But, prevalence of PPR was significantly higher in the nonvaccinated goats. Some hematological parameters except neutrophil count was lower in PPR goats. The recovery rate from clinical signs was higher in goats treated with parenteral administration of oxytetracycline.

“…The overall seroprevalence of PPR was 26.03% in selected areas in Bangladesh. Whereas Razzaque et al, 2004 andBanik et al, 2008 who found the seroprevalence of PPR is 36% in goat and BLRI, 2008 were found the seroprevalence of PPR is 33.34% in sheep. The main cause of this low seroprevalence evidence showed that those were well non organized farm and no history of vaccination.…”
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a devastating and killer disease of domesticated small ruminants particularly goats. The present study was conducted on the serosurveillance of PPR in goats in different areas of Bangladesh. Blood samples were collected apparently from different years of age of goats in different areas of Bangladesh. All sera were subjected to serological test by competitive ELISA. For sero-surveillance of PPR virus total 200 serum samples were collected at different areas of Bangladesh such as Bogra18/60 (30%), Sirajganj 26/30 (86.67%), Mymensingh 5/50 (10%) and Rangpur 7/60 (11.67%). Among those 56 were seropositive and 144 were seronegative. The mean positive antibody titer ±SD of goat serum samples was 26.03 and the mean negative antibody titer was 77.76The highest antibodies was detected in Sirajganj that was vaccinated flock whereas the lowest antibodies was found Mymensingh that was non vaccinated goat. It may be concluded that, in absence of vaccination, the presence of PPRV antibodies indicated that PPR viruses were circulating among the goats population but the vaccinated goat's have protective level of antibodies against PPRV. So that preventive measures should be taken in goats against PPR virus by vaccination with proper maintain of cool chain.
