Optimal time for vaccination against Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) disease in goats in humid tropical zone in southern Nigeria
Abstract
Investigation of the incidence of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) disease in goats revealed seasonality in the natural occurrence of PPR disease in the environment. Tissue culture rinderpest vaccine was shown effective in protecting goats against the disease. The optimal time for vaccinating goats against PPR disease was when the least number of animals were incubating the disease. In the tropical humid zone, as in West Africa, the optimal time for vaccination against the PPR disease is from late November to middle of December.
