Early detection of viral excretion from experimentally infected goats with peste-des-petits ruminants virus
We observed 15 goats for 9 days after subcutaneous infection with 103 TCID50 with isolates of peste-des-petits ruminants virus from Africa and India and five concurrent, uninfected control goats. Typical clinical signs of the infection were present in all 15 infected goats by day 8 and in most by day 6 and some signs were present by day 4. However, 6 out of 15 goats already have detectable virus shedding by day 3 and four more were shedding by day 4 and every goat had virus shedding for at least 1 day before the recognition of clinical signs. This experiment indicates that incubatory carriers therefore might play a role in the transmission of PPRV among small ruminants. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
