Abstract

A total of 120 serum samples of cattle collected from six districts in Tamil Nadu were screened for PPRV antibodies. Competitive enzyme linked immune sorbent assay and micro serum neutralization test were used for seromonitoring of PPRV antibodies. In areas with no previous history of PPR incidence and PPRV vaccination in goats and sheep under field/ farmers holdings, the serum samples collected from selected cattle herds showed 8.3% positivity for PPRV antibodies by both cELISA and micro SNT, whereas in areas with previous history of PPR incidence and PPRV vaccination in goats and sheep, the cattle herds showed 18.3% positivity.
