Dear Colleagues
IN Sudan, Live
stock subsector contributes 22% of the total country GDP. At present PPR is
considered as the main threat affecting sheep production, disease outbreaks are
also reported from camel production areas in Sudan( Camels should be considered
in national or regional strategy control
at least in countries with high camel populations and research should be
conducted to improve the diagnostic tools c-ELISA for antibody detection in
camels). The national control strategy for PPR is to target specific production
areas for virus elimination and to maintain these areas disease free to roll
back the disease there after. The strategy based on contain disease and secure
disease free areas, ecosystem, vaccination and intensive surveillance, but,
there are many factors seemed to contribute to wide spread of the disease
should be considered such as:1- Nomads move from west Africa across Sudan up to
the border with Ethiopia.2-Agropastoralists, move along their customary
migration routes across the country. 3- Trade animals, millions of sheep and
goats are trekked from their production areas for export, livestock markets
ect.
