Synopsis (short abstract) Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly transmissible viral disease that affects and kills small ruminants in over 70 countries in Africa, the Near and Middle East and Asia. By means of the PPR Global Eradication Programme (PPR GEP), the eradication of the disease is targeted for 2030. To assist countries and regions towards this objective, PPR Global and Research Expertise Network (PPR-GREN) was established as a source of experts to provide operational and technical support. In particular, the third PPR-GREN meeting, held in November 2020, served as a forum of discussion between the over 140 attendants over four themes: Atypical Hosts, Socioeconomics, Wildlife and Vaccination Strategy. Updates on recent scientific studies conducted on each subject were presented by the respective thematic group, which in turn was able to collect feedback on research gaps hindering PPR eradication which need to be addressed. Besides guiding the next activities of PPR-GREN, these insights will inform the development of the second phase of the PPR Global Eradication Programme.
