Synopsis

This book subtly presents the Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus (PPRV), a morbillivirus closely related to rinderpest virus, that decimates sheep and goats along with those of other susceptible domestic ruminants and many wildlife species. Following its first introduction to the West Africa in 1940, PPRV was rapidly disseminated across sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Southern Asia. Recent outbreaks of PPR in Morocco and European part of Turkey are posing continuous threats to many European countries.

This book focuses on the key dynamics of this deadly disease, and incorporates considerable historical detail, infection biology, comparative molecular biology, and pathophysiology of the disease. The accurate disease diagnosis, management, and prevention of the disease are crucial for clinicians. Thus, three chapters emphasize the traditional prophylactic measures, clinical outcome of the disease and clinical disease assessments. The genomic organization and molecularbiology of PPRV is described comprehensively. Because of the current sensitivity about an emergence of PPRV and successful Global Rinderpest Eradication Programme, finally a chapter is dedicated to explore the possibilities to control and eradicate the PPRV from the globe, the way similar to rinderpest virus. Collectively, this book consists of high quality scientific and historical research contributed by the top experts in the field, from all around the globe. Moreover, editor's vast experience with PPRV and collaborations with other researchers worldwide make this book unique.

This book offers a valuable reference source for virologists, field veterinarians, infection and molecular biologists, immunologists, scientists in related fields and veterinary school libraries.
