Peste des petits ruminants

Nepal

SMALL RUMINANT POPULATION (goat-sheep): 10.986.114 - 800.658
CONTROL ACTIVITIES: From 2.1 to 4.0 million doses of vaccine are being produced each year but more can be done considering the laboratory capacity of the country. National PPR control programme is focused on densely populated areas or areas that seems to be prone to PPR outbreak due to previous reports, especially at the borders and market trade. Each animal is vaccinated at the entry point and for each outbreak a ring vaccination is put in place.
