  • Keywords | Peste des petits ruminants, PPRV, Virus, Disease.
  • PPRV was in the shadow of rinderpest virus for centuries and until the 1950’s little consideration was given to this plague of small ruminants and its effect on small ruminant agriculture.
  • Furthermore, due to both an increased availability of molecular tools in countries where the virus is endemic and an increased interest in PPRV following RPV eradication outbreaks of the virus have been genetically typed enabling an epidemiological assessment of lineage distribution across endemic areas.
  • Whether this increased representation of lineage IV virus in different regions indicates a dominance of viruses from this lineage is unclear.

Abstract

Abstract | Peste des petits ruminants virus causes an economically important disease of small ruminants that causes extensive livestock losses across areas where it is endemic. Further the recent description of the disease in naïve populations of animals have demonstrated an expansion of the distribution of the disease. Having been in the shadow of rinderpest virus for decades little is understood regarding factors that influence the outcome of infection with both viral and host genetics being thought to influence the outcome of disease. Following the successful global eradication of rinderpest virus, peste des petits ruminants virus has also been targeted for global eradication by the OIE. Whilst the tools are available to attempt eradication there are a number of factors that will influence the strategy taken to progress with the aim of eradication. Here we describe current areas where knowledge improvement is required to shape our understanding of the disease and its distribution alongside areas of investigation that require consideration in any viral eradication campaign.
