Molecular epidemiology of the globally spreading genetic lineage IV of peste des petits ruminants virus

2026-05-18

Abstract excerpt

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of small ruminants caused by the peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV), which is classified into four distinct genetic lineages (I–IV). A critical concern in the recent epidemiological history of PPRV is the rapid and widespread expansion of lineage IV (LIV) across West Africa over the past decade. This dominance suggests a potential adaptive...
