Synopsis (short abstract) In 2015, the international community agreed that PPR could be the second livestock disease to be eradicated by 2030. The first five years of the global eradication programme (PPR GEP I) ran from 2017 to 2021, after which a mid-term review was conducted. Based on lessons learnt during the first five years, and feedback received during the consultation period, the second and third phase of the programme (PPR GEP II and III) have been developed (“”PPR Blueprint””). This document summarizes the plan of action by outlining the key strategies that must be implemented, and the partnerships that must be fostered, to achieve the eradication goal. The intermediate and long-term objectives of the programme are described, and the document also highlights potential risks, and how these can be mitigated. Finally, the document summarizes the estimated cost of the programme, and the different components that contribute to these costs.

    La Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) est une maladie hautement contagieuse causée par un Morbillivirus (famille des Paramyxoviridés) qui affecte les petits ruminants sauvages et domestiques. Elle est présente dans toute l’Afrique (sauf dans les pays situés le plus au sud), au Moyen-Orient, en Turquie, en Asie de l’Ouest et du Sud et en Chine. Signalée pour la première fois en 1942, la PPR se propage à un rythme alarmant depuis 15 ans, atteignant des régions antérieurement non infectées et mettant en péril des centaines de millions de petits ruminants. Dans les populations nouvellement infectées, la PPR a eu des effets dévastateurs sur le plan socio-économique, portant gravement atteinte aux moyens d’existence, à la sécurité alimentaire et à la nutrition de millions de petits agriculteurs et éleveurs nomades. Les estimations des pertes annuelles imputables à la PPR au plan mondial se situent entre 1,4 milliard et 2,1 milliards d’USD.1 La perte de bétail contraint les éleveurs nomades et les agriculteurs ruraux à quitter leurs terres et leurs cultures pour chercher d’autres moyens d’existence. Ces pertes génèrent de la pauvreté, de la malnutrition, une instabilité économique et sociale et des conflits.

    Recognizing Peste des Petits Ruminants
    A field manual
    1999
    Also 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.
