Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR) Control and Eradication [15]
Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), or small ruminant plague, is a highly infectious and devastating disease of goats and sheep. When a fully susceptible flock is infected, morbidity and mortality rates can be very high. The disease has significant impact on livelihoods, in particular the livelihoods of small holders (4). This document, the Pan African Strategy for the Control and Eradication of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) (hereinafter, the Pan African PPR Strategy 2015) describes a framework for the control and eradication of PPR in Africa by 2030. It also describesthe improvement of veterinary services as a synergistic and complementary action to the control and eradication of PPR, while providing countries with the option to control other priority small ruminant diseases (SRDs).
