Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), a viral disease that affects domestic small ruminants with high morbidities and mortalities across more than 70 countries, engenders a global cost of US$2.1 billion and compromises livelihoods of some 900 million poor and low-income people (1, 2). PPR has generally been regarded globally as only a livestock problem (1), but it is also a wildlife conservation challenge.
