Experimental infection of domestic pigs with the virus of peste des petits ruminants

D R Nawathe et al. Trop Anim Health Prod. 1979 May.

Abstract

Pigs could be subclinically infected with PPRV by inoculation or contact with infected goats. There was no evidence that the virus could spread to uninfected pigs or goats and pigs are not considered important in the epidemiology of PPRV.
