Growing evidence suggests that multiple wildlife species can be infected with peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), important consequences for the potential maintenance of PPRV in communities susceptible hosts, and threat may pose to conservation populations resilience ecosystems. Significant knowledge gaps epidemiology across ruminant community (wildlife domestic), understanding infection other atypical host groups (e.g., camelidae, suidae, bovinae) hinder our ability apply necessary...
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of small ruminants; it emerged in countries previously free the following eradication rinderpest. PPR classified by international organizations as next priority animal for global campaign. Assessment local situations first step efforts. The objective this study was to investigate and compare seroprevalence cattle, sheep goats under two livestock production systems Ethiopia: North Shewa zone Amhara region represents...
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) cultures held in the isolate collections Ethiopia between 1976 and 2008 were not characterized using biological molecular techniques. The already NDV isolates belonged to genotype VI but genetic nature of previously collected isolates, which could shade light on history introduction into country their evolutionary relationships, established.A total 14 NDVs (11 obtained from outbreak cases chickens three commercial vaccinal strains used country) inoculated...
