We investigated peste des petits ruminants (PPR) infection in cattle and wildlife in northern Tanzania. No wildlife from protected ecosystems were seropositive. However, cattle from villages where an outbreak had occurred among small ruminants showed high PPR seropositivity, indicating that spillover infection affects cattle. Thus, cattle could be of value for PPR serosurveillance.
我们调查了坦桑尼亚北部的小反刍动物疫病(PPR)在牛和野生动物中的感染情况。来自保护区生态系统的野生动物均未呈血清阳性。然而,在小反刍动物暴发疫情的村庄中的牛显示出高 PPR 血清阳性率,表明溢出感染会影响牛。因此,牛可以用于 PPR 血清学监测。
