Article Synopsis
- * Research in Nigeria from 2002-2015 identified 73 complete and 38 partial NDV genomes, revealing seven different genotypes and highlighting the genetic diversity of NDV within a single country.
- * The findings indicate frequent transmission of NDV between domestic and wild birds, including previously unreported species, underscoring the need for enhanced monitoring and surveillance to manage NDV’s impact on both agriculture and conservation.
Peste des petits ruminants, caused by the peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), is a highly contagious and economically important transboundary viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants and a major hindrance to small-ruminant production in Nigeria. The seroprevalence and distribution of PPRV antibodies in small ruminants in rural households, farms, live animal markets and slaughter slabs across the six different agro-ecological zones of Nigeria were determined. A total of 4548 serum samples from 3489 goats and 1059 sheep were collected in 12 states.
