(1) Background: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious animal disease affecting small ruminants, leading to significant economic losses. There has been little published data on PPR virus (PPRV) infection in the United Arab Emirates (UAE); (2) Methods: four outbreaks reported in goats and Dama gazelle in 2021 were investigated using pathological and molecular testing; (3) Results: The infected animals showed symptoms of dyspnea, oculo-nasal secretions, cough, and diarrhea. Necropsy findings were almost similar in all examined animals and compliant to the classical forms of the disease. Phylogenetic analysis based on N gene and F gene partial sequences revealed a circulation of PPRV Asian lineage IV in the UAE, and these sequences clustered close to the sequences of PPRV from United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Iran; (4) Conclusions: PPRV Asian lineage IV is currently circulating in the UAE. To the best of our knowledge, this is a first study describing PPRV in domestic small ruminant in the UAE.
(1) 背景:小反刍兽疫(PPR)是一种影响小反刍动物的高度传染性动物疾病,会导致重大经济损失。关于阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)小反刍兽疫病毒(PPRV)感染的已发表数据很少;(2) 方法:对2021年报告的山羊和阿拉伯瞪羚的四起疫情进行了病理和分子检测调查;(3) 结果:受感染动物出现呼吸困难、眼鼻分泌物、咳嗽和腹泻症状。所有检查动物的尸检结果几乎相似,符合该疾病的典型症状。基于N基因和F基因部分序列的系统发育分析显示,PPRV亚洲IV系在阿联酋传播,这些序列与来自阿联酋、巴基斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和伊朗的PPRV序列聚类接近;(4) 结论:PPRV亚洲IV系目前正在阿联酋传播。据我们所知,这是第一项描述阿联酋家养小反刍动物中PPRV的研究。
