Dear colleagues,
I do agree on the need for a well defined baseline indicator such as the annual prevalence. But this is only possible in areas with an efficient reporting systems - preferably, with a proactive surveillance system. On the other hand, in addition to the need for either high quality vaccines and/ or thermo-stable vaccines. We need to develop innovative disease regulatory acts as well as defining industry incentives particularly for the pastoral flocks. Thus social economic studies should not be separated from the epidemiologic research.
Thank you.
Fredrick

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.
