World epidemiological meta-analyses of peste des petits ruminants (1997-2017).

Estimating the occurrence and distribution of infection and identification of risk factors remain key components in understanding the epizootiology and monitoring of peste des petits ruminants (PPR). This study was performed from 1997 to 2017, and included details of flocks with emergent infections, within-flock prevalence and risk association between PPR incidence and various flock management factors worldwide. In assessing the impact of PPR on livestock, outbreak incidence per country was used as an effective indicator of the intensity of the infection process.
