Abstract
The aim of this study was two-fold, to generate full-length genome
sequences of local and recent peste des petits ruminants (PPR) virus isolates and
10 better understand the reasons for genetic resistance of the disease in small and
large ruminants using the transcriptomics approach. Oculo-nasal swabs or tissue
samples from PPR-suspected outbreaks were collected during September 2014 to
January 2016 from different places. A total of 59 samples were collected, of
which 48 samples were confirmed by PPRV ‘M' gene based RT-PCR. Five
complete genomes of PPRV were sequenced.
