Abstract
Field investigation of the incidence of PPR in
176 flocks of goats and sheep from 2015 to 2017
showed positivity for 131 Samples for PPRV
antigen by CIE. The incidence of PPR was higher
during November month followed by March.PPR
incidence is low in the goats and sheep above 2
years of age. PPR incidence was more in the age
group of 4 months to 1 year. Fifteen PPR positive
samples were used for PPRV isolation in Vcro
cells and the isolates were again confirmed by
RT PCR using N gene primers. These RT-PCR
products were sequenced. The partial N gene
sequences of the PPRV isolates are similar and
showed 99 - 100% homology with Tamil Nadu
isolates.
