Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profilePeste des Petits Ruminants Eradication - Advancing the eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Africa 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious disease infecting wild and domestic small ruminants, which was first reported in 1942 in Côte d’Ivoire. Some 5.4 billion people live in affected areas, the majority of them among the world’s poorest livestock farmers. This disease is particularly relevant for Africa, where 33.8 percent of global small ruminants are reared. Thankfully, PPR is readily diagnosed and a reliable, inexpensive and high-quality vaccine is available to immunize animals. FAO and OIE began a global coordinated effort in 2015 to wipe out the disease by 2030. Stepping up this initiative will advance the PPR global eradication programme in Africa and ensure coordinated implementation. -
