Elle menace plus de 300 millions d’animaux dans le monde, en particulier les petits exploitants agricoles, les femmes et les jeunes qui dépendent de l’élevage pour leur subsistance 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1842 Pan-African Programme for the Eradication of PPR: Coordinated by the Pan-African PPR Secretariat (PAPS) AU-IBAR Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), known as “sheep and goat plague,” is one of Africa’s most devastating transboundary animal diseases. The disease threatens over 300 million globally, particularly smallholder farmers, women, and youth who depend on livestock for survival 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1809 Strengthening PPR Eradication in Conflict-Affected/ Security-Fragile African Union Member States: A Strategy for Countries with Special Needs AU-IBAR; FAO; WOAH; AU-PANVAC This paper presents a continental strategy for eradicating Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in conflict-affected and security-fragile African Union Member States. Developed by AU-IBAR technical experts in collaboration with AU-PANVAC, FAO, and WOAH, and supported by the European Union, the strategy builds on lessons from rinderpest eradication and applies conflict-sensitive, community-driven, and technology-enabled approaches. It emphasises adaptive delivery models, community trust, youth and women engagement, and the use of digital surveillance and traceability systems to extend vaccination and disease control to hard-to-reach areas. The paper provides an operational framework to ensure inclusive progress toward PPR eradication by 2030, while strengthening livelihoods, food security, and resilient livestock systems across Africa. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1610 Provisional Agenda: Event to Launch the Pan African Programme for the Eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Africa by 2030 & the “EU support to the Eradication of PPR (Peste des petits ruminants) from Africa” AU-IBAR Provisional Agenda: Event to Launch the Pan African Programme for the Eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Africa by 2030 & the “EU support to the Eradication of PPR (Peste des petits ruminants) from Africa” 2025-02-03T00:00:00Z http://repository.au-ibar.org/handle/123456789/1607 Concept Note and Programme: Launch of the Pan African Program for the Eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and the Control of other Priority Small Ruminant Diseases AU-IBAR This publication is a combination of the concept note and programme on the Launch of the Pan African Program for the Eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and the Control of other Priority Small Ruminant Diseases.

Baziki, Jean; Dundon, William G.; Njoroge, Cecilia; Nwankpa, Nick; Boussini, Hiver; Wamwayi, Henry; Jaw, Baboucarr; Cattoli, Giovanni; Nkundwanayo, Canésius; Ntakirutimana, Désiré; Balikowa, David; Nyabongo, Lionel; Zhang, Zhidong; Bodjo, Sanne Charles In December 2017, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) emerged in Burundi (East Africa) and rapidly spread to five provinces (Gitega, Kirundo, Mwaro, Muramvya and Karuzi) in the country, causing severe disease and killing more than 4,000 goats in the province of Gitega alone. An initial outbreak investigation was conducted in December 2017 by the Burundi Government Veterinary Services and samples were collected for laboratory confirmation. A competitive Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (cELISA: Chinese Patent No. ZL201210278970.9) supplied by the Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute was used to test 112 sera and results showed around 37.5% positive samples. This high level of PPR positive sera in an animal population where PPR infection and vaccination had not been previously reported indicated the exposure of the animals to PPRV. Subsequently in January 2018, the laboratory tests conducted at the African Union-Pan African Veterinary Vaccine Centre (AU-PANVAC) laboratories following a joint investigative mission by the African Union-InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR), AU-PANVAC and the East African Community (EAC) confirmed the presence of PPR in Burundi. Samples tested by conventional RT-PCR indicated the presence of the PPR virus (PPRV). Confirmatory isolation of the virus was also performed. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the virus belongs to lineage III and shows a close relationship with PPRV isolates from Kenya in 2011 and Uganda in 2012. A possible explanation for the outbreaks of PPR in Burundi between December 2017 and February 2018 is presented.
