Small Ruminant Farming in Benin: Characterization, Knowledge and Practices of Breeders Facing Peste des Petits Ruminants. [PDF]
A study on small ruminant farmers' knowledge identified three profiles (G1, G2, G3): the majority, young men, favor the Djallonké breed due to its affordability. While groups G1 and G2 showed a low level of knowledge due to extensive farming practices, group G3 stood out.

Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus in Small Ruminants of Punjab, Pakistan. [PDF]
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease prevalent in sheep and goats, and causes significant economic losses. The study was conducted in 2024 in Punjab Province, Pakistan, to estimate the seroprevalence of the PPR virus (PPRV) and to analyze animal‐level risk factors in unvaccinated small ruminants. Over a 12‐month period,
