Dear Prof Kock
Good to see you comments.

I was also of the view of such variation in disease severity in-spite of
vaccination campaigns. As you might seen comments from one Indian colleague
on the characterization of PPRV from an outbreak which is not similar with
the lineage IV and was confirmed using non conventional methods which is
also interesting.
It is good to know that you are going to run a project on wildlife role.
Let me tell you that we have already started such an activity in Pakistan.
We have discovered the serological evidence of sero-conversion of PPRV
antibodies in companion animals including buffaloes.

Hope to be in touch on this...

Regards
