Identification of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus, Georgia, 2016

Marina Donduashvili et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2018 Aug.

Abstract

A phylogenetic analysis of samples taken from reported outbreaks of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) in Georgia revealed a closer relationship to viruses from northern and eastern Africa than to viruses from countries closer to Georgia. This finding has crucial implications for the control of PPRV in the region.

Keywords: Georgia; lineage IV; peste des petits ruminants virus; phylogenetic analysis; viruses.
