Descripción
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) poses a major threat to food security and livelihoods in around 70 countries. Up to 90 percent of herds are infected, and mortality rates can reach 70 percent. Effective and affordable vaccines that provide lifelong immunity make eradication achievable through targeted vaccination and improved surveillance.The Global Eradication Programme for PPR aims to eliminate the disease by 2030 with an investment of USD 1.9 billion. It promises significant economic benefits and improved food security for millions dependent on small ruminants.
