• Resumen

  • PPR is an important infectious viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants, that threatens the food security and sustainable livelihood of farmers across Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Europe is free of the disease except Thrace (European part of Turkey) and Israel. Following the successful eradication of RPV, PPR has been targeted by the OIE and FAO as the next viral pathogen to be eradicated by 2030. However, the recent outbreaks in Northen Africa and Thrace (European part of Turkey) are great threats to mainland of Europe, as a source of disease spread. We have discussed here the emergence of PPR worldwide since the disease is known, in particular reference to recent outbreaks in Northen Africa and Thrace and their probable threats to Europe for spreading the disease.
