Dear Moderator
My name is Dr Therese Danho. I work in the central laboratory, which is in Bingerville Côte d'Ivoire.
I would like to contribute to reach an effective control of PPR in infected regions. For me, we should use the following suggestions:
1- Make the census of small ruminants (sheeps and goats)
2- Note the periods of disease outbreaks after a correct diagnosis in each country during the year.
3- Start the vaccination campaign before the period known as disease outbreak occurrence. Carry out a correct and wide vaccination and mark vaccinated animals.
4- Advise farmers to avoid introducing unlabeled animals in their farm.
5- During epidemiological surveillances, all the unlabeled animals up to 4 months age should be vaccinated.
I think , these suggestions will convince donors and decision makers for financing PPR progressive control and the eradication of the disease
