Dear All and moderator My name is Arife ERTURK. I am Head of Viral Diagnosis laboratory in Etlik Veterinary Control Central Research Institute in Ankara, Turkey. Approximately 3 weeks I am following PPR GREN. First of all I would like to mention that I am very happy for being in this group. I would like to thank all and especially Dr. Peter ROEDER and Dr. John ANDERSON. They have contributed a lot to our studies about Rinderpest and PPR on 1991 and 1999 respectively in first occurrence of these diseases in Turkey. We have learned many valuable information from them concerning RP Eradication and also PPR disease Control. I would like to give some information about studies of PPR in our country. PPR problem still continuing but our Ministry of Food Agriculture and Livestock have get many activities about combating with PPR. We have finalized Contingency Plan and EU Project (Project No: TR0802.08/01/001) titled “Technical Assistance for Ear Tagging and Vaccination of Sheep and Goats”. We use PPR homologous vaccine (Nijeria/75-1). I agree with Dr. Couacy-Hymann that PPR Control and eradication is specific objective and should be taken separately. Thank you all for your contribution. Best regards Dr. Arife ERTURK Head of Viral Diagnosis Lab.
