Dear All I do not think to live with PPR and neglect the problem is a choice, but I agree to take the issue seriously and control the disease looking for eradication on global level.

"is -Letting PPR endemic- an option?" Dear all, I think letting PPR endemic is not an option. For WNV, BT and other arboviruses which uses midges and wild life to hide, it can be acceptable. Because there is not easy way to control wild life and midges. On the other hand it seems much more reasonable to eradicate PPR like we do RP. Best wishes.

Dear Colleagues, Dr Bill Taylor, who is very well known to most of us, made a striking challenge in his contribution. He suggested that unless we use vaccine sufficiently widely and thoroughly to stop transmission of the virus in its endemic heartlands (moderator's summary) then we are simply going to help virus perpetuation. Therefore, "why waste public resources vaccinating?" The idea received support from Dr Kivaria who went even further to say that perhaps we should just live with the disease. I wonder how many of us think the same? Would some of you like to comment on Dr Taylor's and Dr Kivaria's suggestions giving us feedback on how you see public finances being used to bring about serious "progressive control" or whether this disease could just be left to itself and to the the private sector. In a way the topic leads to the basic question of why do we want to eradicate PPR? We all assume this has been answered but has it? Some reasons have been put forward in a few contributions to the conference but are they enough to convince policy and decision makers and those who hold the purse strings? With regards - moderator. ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the FAO-AnimalHealth-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.fao.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=FAO-AnimalHealth-L&A=1 ________________________________ To unsubscribe from the FAO-AnimalHealth-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.fao.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=FAO-AnimalHealth-L&A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the FAO-AnimalHealth-L list, click the following link: https://listserv.fao.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=FAO-AnimalHealth-L&A=1
