In this study, we investigated an outbreak of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) at a Hydropotes inermis (water deer) farm in Anhui Province, China. These results demonstrated that PPR viruses (PPRVs) can infect H. inermis and also revealed that virulent lineage II PPRVs exist in China, where they have been responsible for the deaths of wild animals. The government should pay close attention to the threat of PPRV epidemiology in China.
本研究调查了中国安徽省 1 家水鹿养殖场暴发小反刍兽疫(PPR)疫情。结果表明,PPRV 可感染水鹿,同时也提示中国存在强毒力谱系 II PPRV,该病毒已造成野生动物死亡。政府应密切关注 PPRV 在中国的流行情况。
