PPR outbreak in goat

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an OIE notifiable, highly contagious and fatal disease of small ruminants causing significant economic losses to the farmers in term of morbidity, mortality, preventive and treatment measures cost. The present study report three outbreaks of PPR in two districts of Punjab state affecting migratory flocks of goats in 2016-17. Younger animals were more susceptible to PPR than adults. None of the affected animals were vaccinated against PPR.

Micro RNAs have been recognized to play vital role in viral replication and pathogenesis. Circulatory miRNAs found in body fluid in stable, cell free form may be correlated with different stages of Peste des Petits Ruminanats (PPR) infection.The present study was focused to profile expression of circulatory miR-21-3p in serum of PPRV infected and apparently healthy goats in natural condition.

Region wise monitoring of the PPR virus by active surveillance is essential as it aids in strategic planning of measures of disease control and prevention. The North Eastern Karnataka with sizable sheep and goat population experiences the outbreaks of PPR but the attempts to isolate and characterize the prevailing PPR virus is limited. Hence, the present research work was carried out with the objective of isolation and characterization of PPR virus isolates circulating in North Eastern Karnataka by microscopic (TEM) and molecular (RT-PCR) methods.
