Pakistan has undertaken prevalence studies based on the serology. In the new project, we are also aiming at improving clinical and serological surveillance beside improving lab diagnosis, vaccine production and vaccination in pilot areas for effective demonstration. We will also be developing a national PPR control and eradication strategy during the project.

Subject: Prevalence of PPR

Dear colleagues,

Yes, we must have and use an efficient vaccine. The vaccine and the vaccination should be part of the strategy to " eradicate PPR"  however  they are not the whole strategy.  In the perspective to "eradicate" the disease we need  first and foremost  to have indicator such as the PREVALENCE which will be used to measure our progress. I am wondering whether currently each country where the disease in endemic can provide annual prevalence of the disease for the last five year.
