Study demonstrates that gazelles are a potential wild small ruminant host for PPRV and may influence the epidemiology of Phylogenetic analysis showed that these PPRV strains belonged to the lineage IV genotype. PPRV was also detected in four healthy semi-captive dorcas gazelles from two areas of Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) antigen and nucleicĪcid were detected in specimens from these gazelles using an immunocapture ELISA and a reverse transcription polymeraseĬhain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Were reported in Dinder National Park, South-Eastern Sudan.
