This leaflet will enable better disease recognition by veterinarians, veterinary paraprofessionals and farmers, with the intention of early response and reduced disease spread and impact. Ultimately, limiting disease spread and achieving the goal of PPR global eradication will contribute to Sustainable Development, enhanced animal productivity, inclusive rural livelihoods, and socioeconomic benefits.

En fin de compte, limiter la propagation de la maladie et atteindre l’objectif d’éradication mondiale de la PPR contribuera au développement durable, à l’amélioration de la productivité animal. -
Book (stand-alone)Investing in the control and eradication of peste des petits ruminants 2015This advocacy document outlines why investing in the control and eradication of peste des petits ruminants is an investment in food security. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a highly contagious disease affecting sheep and goats, causes a staggering USD 1.45 billion to USD 2.1 billion in losses each year. PPR affects the livelihoods of more than 330 million of the world’s poorest people in over 70 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Eradicating PPR will help improve food security, n utrition, incomes and livelihood resilience of millions of poor farmers around the world. In response to calls from member countries, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Organisation for Animal Health have taken the lead in developing a Global Strategy for the control and eradication of PPR. By making an overall investment of USD 7.1 billion, PPR can be eradicated within 15 years.

Book (series)Recognizing Peste des Petits Ruminants
A field manual
1999Also available in:
This booklet is one of a series prepared by FAO’s Emergency System for Transboundary Animal and Plant Pests and Diseases (EMPRES) Livestock Unit, as an aid to emergency preparedness for the major transboundary diseases of livestock. Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), which is also known as goat plague, is a disease of increasing importance in Africa and Asia wherever small ruminants form an important component of agricultural food production. It can affect a broad range of species, including some antelopes, as has already been seen in zoological garden collections but, fortunately, not in the wild. The disease was once thought to be a comparatively restricted problem in West Africa, but it is now known to extend throughout most of West, Central and East Africa, reaching eastwards through western and South Asia.
