AI Article Synopsis
- The peste des petits ruminant (PPR) virus poses a significant health threat to small domestic ruminants, leading to high illness and death rates in unvaccinated herds.
- A study examined the safety and effectiveness of a live-attenuated PPRV vaccine in goats, which showed a strong immune response without adverse health effects.
- Results indicated that this vaccine is both potent and safe, making it a viable option for controlling and potentially eradicating PPR in small ruminant populations.
Article Abstract
The peste des petits ruminant (PPR) virus is a transboundary virus found in small domestic ruminants that causes high morbidity and mortality in naive herds. PPR can be effectively controlled and eradicated by vaccinating small domestic ruminants with a live-attenuated peste des petits ruminant virus (PPRV) vaccine, which provides long-lasting immunity. We studied the potency and safety of a live-attenuated vaccine in goats by detecting their cellular and humoral immune responses. Six goats were subcutaneously vaccinated with a live-attenuated PPRV vaccine according to the manufacturer's instructions, and two goats were kept in contact. Following vaccination, the goats were monitored daily, and we recorded their body temperature and clinical score. Heparinized blood and serum were collected for a serological analysis, and swab samples and EDTA blood were collected to detect the PPRV genome. The safety of the used PPRV vaccine was confirmed by the absence of PPR-related clinical signs, a negative pen-side test, a low virus genome load as detected with RT-qPCR on the vaccinated goats, and the lack horizontal transmission between the in-contact goats. The strong humoral and cellular immune responses detected in the vaccinated goats showed that the live-attenuated PPRV vaccine has a strong potency in goats. Therefore, live-attenuated vaccines against PPR can be used to control and eradicate PRR.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute or subacute, highly contagious, and economically important, transboundary disease of small ruminants caused by Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV).
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the seroconversion rate in PPR vaccinated flock of sheep (Sekela district) and the seroprevalence of PPRV in unvaccinated flocks of sheep and goats (Yilmanadensa district).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to March 2022 in two selected districts of West Gojjam zone, Ethiopia.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease that affects domestic and wild small ruminants and camels in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Following the successful eradication of rinderpest, the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have undertaken to eradicate PPR by 2030. Regular surveillance and monitoring of the disease in various regions of Ethiopia are crucial to achieving this goal.

Article Synopsis
- The study demonstrates the effectiveness of Nanotrap Microbiome A Particles (NMAPs) in capturing and concentrating highly infectious animal viruses to enhance their recovery and detection sensitivity using real-time PCR techniques.
- Five significant animal viruses were tested, showing a substantial increase (up to 100 times) in detection sensitivity after using NMAPs compared to untreated samples.
- Additionally, the study explores challenges in capturing viruses from whole blood, particularly the interference caused by hemoglobin, and suggests solutions to improve virus recovery for practical applications in agriculture.

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), an acute febrile viral disease impacting goats and sheep flocks, manifests with pyrexia, mucopurulent nasal and ocular discharges, necrotizing and erosive stomatitis, pneumonia, and enteritis. The disease-instigating agent, PPR virus, pertains to the genus in the family. The endemic presence of PPR in India results in notable economic losses due to heightened mortality and morbidity in infected animals.
