Assessment Of The Epidemiology Of Peste Des Petits Ruminants (ppr) And Post Vaccinal Seroconversion Rate Of Ppr-virus In Small Ruminants Of Awash Fentale Woreda Afar National Regional State Ethiopia

A study was conducted in small ruminants in Awash Fentale Woreda Afar National Regional State, from September 2006 to June 2007, to determine seroprevalence of peste des petits ruminants, to investigate outbreak of the disease and assess postvaccinal seroconversion to the virus. From a total of 1,239 small ruminants, 879 goats and 360 sheep sampled 21(1.70%) animals were found to be positive using competitive ELISA. The seroprevalence in goats was 2.28% and in sheep 0.28%. The difference in the seroprevalence rate of PPR between goats and sheep was statistically significant (p
