Abstract
Pesti des Petits Ruminants (PPR), a significant disease of sheep and goats was proved to be extended to camels. The present study is to elucidate the spread of the infection in camels in three different localities of Sudan through the detection of the viral antigen by Ic-ELISA and genome by Rt-PCR. During routine inspection, tissue samples collected from 200 camel lungs had showed pneumonic lesions at slaughter houses in Atbara at River Nile State, Northern Sudan, AlObied at Kordofan State, Western Sudan and Tampool at Gezira State at Central Sudan. Tissue samples were collected on ice in sterile containers, sent to Virology laboratory at Central Veterinary Research Laboratory, kept frozen till be tested. Using Ic-ELISA, ninety-six samples (48%) were positive for PPR antigen. The highest prevalence (58.2%) was seen in Tampool at Central State, then (40%) in Atbara at River Nile State and 23.3% in Kordofan State. All reactive subjects by Ic-ELISA were positive by RT-PCR. The results indicated the wide spread of PPR infection in camels in Sudan, thus a study to explore the role of camels in the transmission of PPR is highly recommended.
