Serological study and risk factor analysis on Peste des Petits Ruminants in sheep in Bangladesh

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of the Peste des Petits Ruminant (PPR) virus (PPRV) in sheep populations and to determine the potential epidemiological risk factors associated with this infection. Between October 2014 and March 2017, 2420 sheep serum samples wer...

description A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of the Peste des Petits Ruminant (PPR) virus (PPRV) in sheep populations and to determine the potential epidemiological risk factors associated with this infection. Between October 2014 and March 2017, 2420 sheep serum samples were collected from ten selected PPR outbreak-prone districts in Bangladesh. The collected sera were analysed by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) test to detect antibodies against PPR. A previously designed disease report form was used to gather data on important epidemiological risk factors, and a risk analysis was performed to ascertain their association with PPRV infection. By cELISA, 44.3 % (95 % confidence interval:42.4–46.4 %) of sheep sera were positive for PPRV antibodies against PPR. In univariate analysis, the Bagerhat district had significantly higher seropositivity (54.1 %, 156/288) than other districts. Moreover, significantly higher (p < 0.05) seropositivity was found in the Jamuna River Basin (49.1 %, 217/442) compared to other ecological zones, in crossbreeds (60 %; 600/1000) related to native sheep, in males (69.8 %, 289/414) associated with females, in imported sheep (74.3 %, 223/300) compared to other sources, and in winter (57.2 %, 527/920) than in other seasons. In the multivariate logistic regression model, six possible risk factors were identified: study location, ecological zone, breed, sex, source, and season. The high seroprevalence of PPRV is significantly associated with several risk factors, suggesting that PPR is epizootic throughout the country.
