Summary: This study aimed to assess and describe the cost of delivering PPR vaccines in Burkina Faso using data from the 2020 vaccination campaign. The results showed that the unit cost of vaccinating a sheep or goat through the public and private channels was estimated at XOF 169 (USD 0.3) and XOF 103 (USD 0.18) respectively. Field activities and personnel costs accounted for the highest share of the vaccination cost.

Summary: The effects of PPRV on IFN and IFN-induced ISGs were cell-type specific, which advances our understanding of the innate immune response induced by PPRV and creates new possibilities for the control of PPRV infection.

Summary: PPR, caused by PPRV, has been confirmed as endemic in Tanzania with multiple introductions of the virus. The disease has not been observed in wildlife, cattle, or camels, but they show exposure to PPRV through serological evidence. Challenges for PPR control in Tanzania include small ruminant movements and limited veterinary services, highlighting the need for a comprehensive eradication program.

Summary: Studying the genetic features of viruses using different codons is important for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV). This study found that the codon usage patterns of PPRV reflected its plasticity and adaptability during evolution, and also highlighted specific codon usage features and high adaptation to hosts.

Summary: PPR is a transboundary viral disease that poses a threat to 1.74 billion goats and sheep in 70 countries globally. Efforts have been made since 2015 to eradicate PPR by 2030, with strategies developed by FAO and OIE, but more scientific evaluation and cross-border cooperation are needed for successful eradication.

Summary: A PPRV strain named ChinaSX2020 was isolated in China, showing close relation to PPRVs isolated in China between 2013 and 2014, indicating similar PPRVs are continuously spreading and leading to sporadic outbreaks in the country.

Summary: The study found that there were 5.2 million reported cases of Peste des Petits Ruminants in Bangladesh, with the highest proportion occurring during the monsoon season. The association between PPR incidence and road length was found to be significant (P = 0.03), suggesting that the movement of animals plays a crucial role in the epidemiology of PPR in Bangladesh.

Summary: PPR is a highly contagious viral disease affecting goats and sheep in Nigeria, with lineage IV being dominant. Multiple sub-clusters of lineage IV were identified across regions, indicating widespread circulation of PPRV strains and challenges in disease control in the area.

Summary: In this study, it was found that Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) infection induces endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and activates autophagy. Virus replication is necessary for the induction of ERS-mediated autophagy and PERK pathway activation. Furthermore, it was shown that the viral nucleocapsid (N) or nonstructural protein C is sufficient to induce ERS and enhance autophagy.

Summary: The study revealed the prevalence of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in small ruminants in Rwanda, with limitations in the sampling method used. Further studies are needed to fully understand the epidemiology of PPR in the country.

Summary: This study demonstrates that PPRV infection can induce an innate immune response in caprine endometrial epithelial cells and identifies differentially expressed lncRNAs associated with immune response. The study also highlights the role of IRF1-AS in regulating the innate immune response and suggests it as a potential target for antiviral therapies against PPRV infection.

Summary: Samples collected from goats and sheep in four West African countries were screened for peste des petits ruminants viruses, and Lineages II and IV were found. Lineage IV was reported for the first time in all four countries. This information is important for local and regional authorities involved in managing the spread of the virus.
