Cameroon joined the sero-survey component of the PARC (Pan African Rinderpest Campaign) program in 1989. During the 1992 Campaign, a detailed sampling frame, adapted to the breeding conditions of the North Province was drawn up according to PARC recommendations. The four administrative divisions of the province were covered by sampling cattle in 14 sites chosen by randomisation. Eight thousand six hundred and eighty sera samples from 217 cattle herds were tested using FAO/IAEA rinderpest competitive ELISA technique. The results indicated an overall prevalence of rinderpest virus antibodies (RPVA) of 66%. This is below the target objective. The differences of prevalence between age groups and breeding systems (sedentary of transhumant) are statistically significant. The same results have been reported in the Adamaoua Province (62% in 1991 campaign). These results do not reflect the situation in all the country. It is suggested to hold general meeting between different livestock managers from the provinces with high cattle populations to adopt commun vaccination measures with the target objective of increasing the level of immunity.
喀麦隆于1989年加入泛非牛瘟防治运动（PARC）项目的血清学调查部分。在1992年的防治运动期间，根据PARC的建议，制定了一个适合北部省份养殖条件的详细抽样框架。该省的四个行政区通过随机选择14个地点的抽样牛群进行覆盖。使用粮农组织/国际原子能机构牛瘟竞争ELISA技术对来自217个牛群的8680份血清样本进行了检测。结果表明，牛瘟病毒抗体（RPVA）的总体流行率为66%。这低于目标值。年龄组和养殖系统（定居或游牧）之间的流行率差异具有统计学意义。阿达马瓦省也报告了相同的结果（1991年防治运动中为62%）。这些结果并未反映全国的情况。建议在牛群数量较多的省份的不同畜牧管理人员之间召开大会，采取共同的疫苗接种措施，目标是提高免疫水平。
