| comparison of nucleotide sequences of recent and previous lineages of peste-des-petits-ruminants viruses of sheep and goats in nigeria. | peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (pprv) is a highly contagious, fatal and economically important viral disease of small ruminants that is still endemic and militates against the production of sheep and goats in endemic areas of the world. the aim of this study was to describe the viral strains within the country. this was carried out by collecting tissue and swab samples from sheep and goats in various agro-ecological zones of nigeria. the phylogeny of archived pprv strains or isolates and those ... | 2016 | 27608505 |
| serological evidence of camel exposure to peste des petits ruminants virus (pprv) in nigeria. | peste des petits ruminants (ppr), a viral disease of sheep and goats, is endemic in nigeria. there are reports indicating the involvement of peste des petits ruminants virus (pprv), the causative agent of ppr, in a camel respiratory syndrome in africa. considering that camels share the same grazing land and drinking points with other ruminants, this study was undertaken to determine the seroprevalence and extent of pprv antibodies in nigerian camels. a total of 1517 camel sera samples were colle ... | 2015 | 25547805 |
| first report of immunohistochemical detection of peste des petit ruminants, parainfluenza 3 and respiratory syncytial viral antigens in lungs of nigerian goats. | this study determined the of involvement of ppr, pi3 and rs viruses in the pathology of caprine pneumonia across nigeria. 150 goats were selected randomly. pi3 and rsv monoclonal antibodies and ppr polyclonal antibody were used for the immunolocalisation of the antigens. histologically, 61 of the goats had broncho-interstitial pneumonia, 25 had interstitial pneumonia, 42 had bronchopneumonia, 12 had bronchiolitis and 10 were normal. ppr, pi3 and rs viral antigens were demonstrated in: intact and ... | 2017 | 28679075 |
