Dear Colleagues,
We must increase the immune resistance of susceptible animals to PPR, in order to reduce the shedding of PPRV in infected or exposed animals. For this, an efficient vaccine and vaccination should be the main parts of the strategy,beside,a continues surveillance and monitoring for early warning. Other epidemiological principles for control and eradications of the disease are essential and could be adopted easy in urban areas, but not in remote nomads area.For example, it is impossble( or could not be easy) to prevent contact between PPRV and susceptible animals in nomads or agropastoralist areas due to their continues movements(customary migration routes).
Yes sir, records of the disease prevalence are very importants for formulating appropriate disease strategy in any country.
Thanks
