Dear Fredrick and other collegues,
 
Thanks for the abstract. I have gone through the full paper and found it very useful to understand the epidemiology of PPR in the context of sero-prevalence of PPRV antibodies in small ruminants in Tanzania,  persistence / spread of infection, effective reproduction number and threshold level required for PPR control leading to eradication. I strongly believe in conducting such studies at national/regional level because the results /output would guide the policy and operational level decisions while saving the undue cost likely to incur otherwise on possibly inappropriate intervention(s) in the field. More over vaccine is one of the important tools therefore it should be inclusive but not exclusive for the control/eradication of PPR.
 
Regards
Akram
