Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a fatal viral disease of goats causes high mortality and large economic losses, and is considered as one of the major constrains of goat farming worldwide.This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence, alteration of vital signs and effective therapeutics of PPR affected goats inBeraupzilla ofPabna district, Bangladeshduring the period of November 2014 to April 2015. A total number of 465 diseased goats were clinically examined of which 253 (54.41%) were found to be affected with PPR. The highest prevalence (72.27%) was found in Black Bengal goats whereas 35.04% and 27.78% prevalence were found in Jamunapari and Cross breed goats respectively. In case of Black Bengal goats51.78% affected goats were aged between 0-7months. In case ofJamunapari 51% affected goats aged between 8-14 months. Female goats were more susceptible (65%) as compared to males. About 60%Black Bengal goats had a body temperature range of 104-105.9 ?F. Over half of the study populations were in normal range of respiration rate.65%cross breed’s heart rate was recorded in 91-110/minute range group that was higher in comparison to other breeds.The response totreatment following parenteral (I/M) administration of Sulphadimidine was higher (58%) than parenteral (I/M) OxytetracyclineHCl (50%) and Gentamycin Sulphate (46%) administration. All these findings revealed that, the prevalence of PPR depends on specific breed and age groupsand Sulphadimidine is the most effective drug choice in PPR treatment.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 114-119, 2017

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease of goats and sheep that occurs in Africa, the Middle East and Asia with a severe impact on livelihoods and livestock trade. Many wild artiodactyls are susceptible to PPR virus (PPRV) infection, and some outbreaks have threatened endangered wild populations. The role of wild species in PPRV epidemiology is unclear, which is a knowledge gap for the Global Strategy for the Control and Eradication of PPR. These studies aimed to investigate PPRV infection in wild artiodactyls in the Greater Serengeti and Amboseli ecosystems of Kenya and Tanzania. Out of 132 animals purposively sampled in 2015–2016, 19.7% were PPRV seropositive by ID Screen PPR competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA; IDvet, France) from the following species: African buffalo, wildebeest, topi, kongoni, Grant’s gazelle, impala, Thomson’s gazelle, warthog and gerenuk, while waterbuck and lesser kudu were seronegative. In 2018–2019, a cross-sectional survey of randomly selected African buffalo and Grant’s gazelle herds was conducted. The weighted estimate of PPRV seroprevalence was 12.0% out of 191 African buffalo and 1.1% out of 139 Grant’s gazelles. All ocular and nasal swabs and faeces were negative by PPRV real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Investigations of a PPR-like disease in sheep and goats confirmed PPRV circulation in the area by rapid detection test and/or RT-qPCR. These results demonstrated serological evidence of PPRV infection in wild artiodactyl species at the wildlife–livestock interface in this ecosystem where PPRV is endemic in domestic small ruminants. Exposure to PPRV could be via spillover from infected small ruminants or from transmission between wild animals, while the relatively low seroprevalence suggests that sustained transmission is unlikely. Further studies of other major wild artiodactyls in this ecosystem are required, such as impala, Thomson’s gazelle and wildebeest.
