Virological and serological evidence was obtained to show that peste des petits ruminants virus was widely distributed in Omani sheep and goats. There was no evidence for the concomitant presence of rinderpest virus in these species. Two virus isolates were classified as peste des petits ruminants virus on the basis of their pathogenicity in experimental animals and their specific hybridisation with nucleic acid probes. However, neutralisation tests and polyacrylamide gel analysis of their nucleocapsid proteins showed that they were not identical to the highly conserved African strains of this virus.
获得了病毒学和血清学证据，表明小反刍兽疫病毒在阿曼的绵羊和山羊中广泛分布。没有证据表明这些物种中同时存在牛瘟病毒。根据两种病毒分离株在实验动物中的致病性及其与核酸探针的特异性杂交，将它们归类为小反刍兽疫病毒。然而，中和试验以及对其核衣壳蛋白的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶分析表明，它们与该病毒高度保守的非洲毒株并不相同。
