Seroprevalence study of peste des petits ruminants in sheep and goats in the northern region of India

Abstract: Background and Aim: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a contagious, World Organization for Animal Health notifiable, economically important, transboundary morbilliviral disease of sheep and goats. Studying seroprevalence of PPR from different geographical areas under varying agro-climatic conditions may help in formulating effective and appropriate disease control strategies under the ongoing national PPR control program. The present cross-sectional study describes the prevalence of PPR virus antibodies in s… Show more

“…Further, the number of reported outbreaks and cases showed a declining trend from 2005, which might be due to the implementation of focussed vaccination in some states since 2002 [ 11 ], and the strategic vaccination under PPR-CP in a few states from 2011, besides implementation of the biosecurity measures to prevent the spread and control of PPR outbreaks. However, during 2018–2019, the marginal increase in the number of outbreaks only in some defined geographical areas in Maharashtra, Haryana, Jharkhand, and West Bengal when compared to 2017 ( Figure 6 ), might be due to the migration/movements of the non-vaccinated animals for grazing/trade as well as non-implementation of the vaccination as per the direction of the strategic vaccination under PPR-CP [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Further, the multivariable regression analysis of outbreaks revealed disease occurrence in the East zone was positively associated and significant, as in this zone more outbreaks were being reported than other zones, as extensive vaccination is not being practiced.…”

“…The variation in disease endemicity might be due to differences in animal husbandry practices and the agro-climatic conditions affecting the pattern of the natural vegetation which indirectly influences the socio-economic factors, the migration patterns of small ruminants, flock size, and the population density of the animals in the different states. Although India is endemic to PPR, north-eastern states either free from disease or have very few reports [ 12 , 21 , 44 ]. North-East states have a relatively small sheep and goats population and intermixing of these animals with the small ruminants population from the rest of the country is usually limited because of very narrow connecting passage [ 12 , 21 , 44 ].…”
