  1. Peste des Petits Ruminants

  2. Overview Organism Economic Impact Epidemiology Transmission Clinical Signs Diagnosis and Treatment Prevention and Control Actions to Take

  3. The Organism

  4. The Organism • Family Paramyxoviridae • Genus Morbillivirus • Closely related to rinderpest virus • Very similar antigenically • Antibodies are cross-protective • Viruses are distinct

  5. Importance

  6. History • 1942: Cote d’Ivoire in West Africa • Soon spread to Nigeria, Senegal, and Ghana • 1972: Sudan • 1990s: Re-emerging as a result of decreases in veterinary services

  7. Economic Impact • Presence of disease can limit: • Trade and export • Import of new breeds • Development of intensive livestock production • Loss of animal protein for human consumption

  8. Epidemiology

  9. Species Affected • Principally goats and sheep • Cattle and pigs seroconvert but do not develop or transmit disease • Wild ungulates can be affected • Gazelle, deer, ibex, gemsbok • Limited information on species susceptibility, occurrence of disease

  10. Geographic Distribution • Africa • South of the Sahara • North of the equator • Middle East • Parts of Asia • Indian subcontinent

  11. Morbidity and Mortality • Young animals most affected • Ages 2 months to 2 years • Varies by species, immunity, breed • Morbidity and mortality rates • Up to 100% in naïve herds • Lower in endemic areas • High case fatality rate • Exotic ungulates

  12. Transmission

  13. Transmission • Close contact, inhalation • Virus shed in nasal and ocular secretions, saliva, urine, and feces • Long-term carriers unlikely • Role of fomites unclear • Do not remain infectious for long

  14. Disease in Animals

  15. Clinical Signs • Incubation period • 2 to 10 days • Peracute • Acute • High fever • Serous nasal, ocular discharge becomes mucopurulent • Hyperemic gums, necrotic oral lesions

  16. Clinical Signs • Profuse diarrhea • Dehydration • Emaciation • Rapid respiration, dyspnea • Abortion • Skin nodules around muzzle • Subacute, asymptomatic disease

  17. Post Mortem Lesions • Inflammatory and necrotic lesions • Oral cavity • GI tract • Emaciation • Erosive lesions “zebra stripes” • Bronchopneumonia • Enlarged lymph nodes

  18. Sampling • Before collecting or sending any samples, the proper authorities should be contacted • Samples should only be sent under secure conditions and to authorized laboratories to prevent the spread of the disease

  19. Clinical Diagnosis • PPR should be considered in: • Sheep, goats, or gazelle • Acutely febrile, highly contagious disease • Oral or GI signs

  20. Differential Diagnosis • Rinderpest • Bluetongue • Contagious ecthyma • Foot and mouth disease • Heartwater • Coccidiosis • Mineral poisoning • Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia • Pasteurellosis

  21. Laboratory Diagnosis • Virus isolation • Antigen detection • RT-PCR • Serology • Samples • Discharges, oral lesions, whole blood

  22. Treatment • No specific treatment • Drugs to control bacterial and parasitic complications • May decrease mortality • Supportive care

  23. Prevention and Control

  24. Recommended Actions IMMEDIATELY notify authorities Federal • Area Veterinarian in Charge (AVIC) http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/area_offices/ State • State veterinarian www.usaha.org/stateanimalhealthofficials.aspx Quarantine

  25. Prevention and Control • Quarantine • Movement controls • Euthanasia of infected and exposed animals • Cleaning and disinfection of infected premises

  26. Vaccination • Outbreaks • Ring vaccination, high-risk populations • Endemic areas • Used to control disease • Vaccine types • Attenuated rinderpest vaccine • Homologous, attenuated PPR vaccine • Recombinant vaccine

  27. Disinfection • PPR virus killed by most common disinfectants • Alkalis (sodium carbonate, hydroxide) • Halogens (sodium hypochlorite) • 2% for 24 hours • Phenolic compounds • Citric Acid • Alcohols • Iodophores
