This cross-sectional serosurvey outlines the seroprevalence of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in small ruminants in the hilly terrain north-eastern state of Sikkim in India. A total of 776 small ruminants’ (sheep [n = 99] and goats [n = 677]) serum samples were collected from 62 epidemiological units (epi-units) of the state using a two-stage sampling method from September 2017 to February 2018. The collected sera were screened for the small ruminant morbillivirus (SRMV) antibodies using a PPR-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA). The results showed 1.16% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.61-2.19%) apparent prevalence with almost zero calculated true prevalence, which implies the insignificant prevalence of SRMV antibodies in the small ruminants population. Further, only a few samples from Not Available |
