Book (stand-alone)Stratégie Mondiale pour le Contrôle et l’éradication de la Peste des Petits Ruminants 2015
Also available in:
La Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) est une maladie hautement contagieuse des moutons et des chèvres causée par un Morbillivirus étroitement apparenté au virus de la peste bovine, et est considérée comme l’ une des maladies du cheptel les plus dommageables en Afrique, au Proche et Moyen-Orient et en Asie. Gardant à l’ esprit le fort impact négatif que la PPR peut avoir sur la sécurité alimentaire et la subsistance des agriculteurs pauvres, principaux éleveurs de moutons et de chèvres, le Program me Mondial de lutte contre les Maladies Animales Transfrontalières, le Comité directeur mondial du GF-TADs en 2012, le Conseil et le Comité de l’ Agriculture de l’ Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’ Alimentation et l’ Agriculture (FAO) ainsi que l’ Organisation Mondiale de la Santé Animale (OIE), sous la forme d’une Résolution de l’ Assemblée Mondiale des Délégués de l’ OIE en 2014, ont tous recommandé l’ élaboration d’une Stratégie mondiale pour le contrôle et l’ éradication de la PPR (appe lée ci-dessous « Stratégie mondiale ») et exprimé une forte volonté de traiter les problèmes de santé animale d’une façon systématique, abordant aussi bien les questions horizontales que celles qui sont plus spécifiques (questions verticales).de telle ou telle maladie -
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. -
ArticlePeste des Petits Ruminants Virus Infection at the Wildlife–Livestock Interface in the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem, 2015–2019 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease of goats and sheep that occurs in Africa, the Middle East and Asia with a severe impact on livelihoods and livestock trade. Many wild artiodactyls are susceptible to PPR virus (PPRV) infection, and some outbreaks have threatened endangered wild populations. The role of wild species in PPRV epidemiology is unclear, which is a knowledge gap for the Global Strategy for the Control and Eradication of PPR. These studies aimed to investigate PPRV infection in wild artiodactyls in the Greater Serengeti and Amboseli ecosystems of Kenya and Tanzania. Out of 132 animals purposively sampled in 2015–2016, 19.7% were PPRV seropositive by ID Screen PPR competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA; IDvet, France) from the following species: African buffalo, wildebeest, topi, kongoni, Grant’s gazelle, impala, Thomson’s gazelle, warthog and gerenuk, while waterbuck and lesser kudu were seronegative. In 2018–2019, a cross-sectional survey of randomly selected African buffalo and Grant’s gazelle herds was conducted. The weighted estimate of PPRV seroprevalence was 12.0% out of 191 African buffalo and 1.1% out of 139 Grant’s gazelles. All ocular and nasal swabs and faeces were negative by PPRV real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Investigations of a PPR-like disease in sheep and goats confirmed PPRV circulation in the area by rapid detection test and/or RT-qPCR. These results demonstrated serological evidence of PPRV infection in wild artiodactyl species at the wildlife–livestock interface in this ecosystem where PPRV is endemic in domestic small ruminants. Exposure to PPRV could be via spillover from infected small ruminants or from transmission between wild animals, while the relatively low seroprevalence suggests that sustained transmission is unlikely. Further studies of other major wild artiodactyls in this ecosystem are required, such as impala, Thomson’s gazelle and wildebeest.
