Abstract
Virological and Molecular Studies on Peste Des Petits Ruminants Virus (PPRV) in Small Ruminants and Camel in Egypt between 2017 and 2018
Highlights
Peste des petitis ruminants (PPR) is an acute highly contagious pneumo-enteric transboundary viral disease specific affecting small ruminants and small wild stocks and manifested by fever, respiratory signs and intestinal signs (Cam et al, 2005)
Swabs (Nasal, ocular, oral, rectal), buffy coat, tissue samples collected from small ruminant animals were tested with IC-ELISA for identification of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) antigen which was detected in 16/23, 69.5% from the tested samples, while all samples of camels were negative (Table 2)
For further confirmation of IC-ELISA positive samples, tissue sample from intestine of necropsied animals subjected to RT-qPCR for RNA amplification
Summary
Peste des petitis ruminants (PPR) is an acute highly contagious pneumo-enteric transboundary viral disease specific affecting small ruminants and small wild stocks and manifested by fever, respiratory signs and intestinal signs (Cam et al, 2005). PPRV was first reported in Côte d’Ivoire, subsequently in most African countries, Middle East countries, Turkey; Arabian Peninsula spreads widely from Central Asia to South and South East Asia (Banyard et al, 2010). Europe maintain PPRV disease surveillance due to reporting of outbreaks on the Edges of the European Union with Morocco and Tunisia (Minet et al, 2009). PPR has a major economic effect due to having an impact on the food security and economic livestock trade of the affected country especially in developing countries (Wambura, 2000; Banyard et al, 2010). In Egypt, PPRV has been reported since 1989 with very low incidence 2019 | Volume 7 | Special Issue 2 | Page 12
