Introduction: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious and fatal disease affecting small ruminants, particularly goats and sheep, and is caused by Morbillivirus caprinae, a virus in the genus Morbillivirus, family Paramyxoviridae. PPR has significant economic and social impacts, especially in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, where small ruminants are vital to rural livelihoods and food security. This disease is a priority for global eradication due to its disproportionate impact on low-income farmers and wildlife conservation.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are increasingly recognized as promising vaccine candidates and drug-delivery platforms because they do not contain genetic materials, mimic viral structures, and possess strong antigenic properties. Various hosts, including microorganisms, yeast, and insect cells, are commonly used for VLP expression. Recently, silkworms have emerged as a significant host for producing VLPs, providing a cost-effective and straightforward approach for large-scale expression.
