Abstract
In Indian state of Tamil Nadu, six districts were chosen and 120 serum samples collected from selected herds of
buffaloes. These sera were screened for peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) antibodies using cELISA and micro
SNT. Though the sample size is small to assess the extent of seropositivity, both the tests showed 15% (9/60) positivity
for PPRV antibodies in selected herds of buffaloes in the areas without previous history of PPRV disease incidence and
PPRV vaccination in goats and sheep, whereas, 28.3% (17/60) positivity was found in selected herds of buffaloes with
previous history of PPRV disease incidence and PPRV vaccination in goats and sheep under field/ farmers’ holdings.
The buffaloes did not exhibit any clinical sign though there was seropositivity.
