In this study, we assessed the PPR disease status, its economic cost, the financial viability of
vaccination, and the perspectives of field veterinarians on the PPR vaccination programme implemented in Karnataka state, India. In addition to secondary data, cross-sectional surveys undertaken
during 2016–17 (survey I) and 2018–19 (survey II) from 673 sheep and goat flocks and data collected
from 62 veterinarians were analysed. The economic costs and perceptions of veterinarians were
analysed using deterministic models and the Likert scale, respectively, and the financial viability
of vaccination programmes under the best (15%), base (20%), and worst-case (25%) PPR incidence
scenarios, considering two different vaccination plans (plan I and plan II), was assessed. The disease
incidence in sheep and goats was found to be 9.8% and 4.8% in survey I and survey II, respectively.
In consonance with the increased vaccination coverage, the number of reported PPR outbreaks in
the state declined significantly. The estimated farm-level loss of PPR varied between the surveyed
years. Even under the best-incidence scenario, under vaccination plan-I and plan-II, the estimated
benefit–cost ratio (18.4:1; 19.7:1), the net present value (USD 932 million; USD 936 million) and the
internal rate of return (412%) implied that the vaccination programmes were financially viable and
the benefits outweighed the cost. Though the majority of veterinarians perceived that the control
programme was well planned and rolled out in the state, a few of them disagreed or were neutral
towards the plan per se, towards the coordination between functionaries, the availability of funding,
and the programme acceptance by farmers. Despite many years of vaccination, PPR still persists in
the Karnataka state for various reasons and in order to eradicate the disease, a review of the existing
control programme with strong facilitation from the federal government is needed.
