| Abstract: | The current situation of PPR in Sudan was investigated. A total of 61 tissue samples were collected from various PPR suspected
outbreaks in sheep in Sudan during 2008. Collected tissue samples were tested for PPR antigen using IcELISA, PPR antigen was
detected in 26 out of 61 samples (42.6%). Highest antigen detection rate was in specimens collected from western Sudan. A
total of 1198 serum samples were collected from sheep (n = 500), camels (n = 392), and goats (n = 306) from different areas
in Sudan (Khartoum, Gezira, Tambool, River Nile, Kordofan, White Nile, Blue Nile, Gedarif, Kassala, Halfa ElGadida, Port Sudan).
Collected sera were examined for PPR antibodies using cELISA, a total of 336 (67.2%) sheep, 170 (55.6%) goat and 1 (0.3%)
camel samples were found to be positive. |
