Evolutionary dynamics of codon usages for peste des petits ruminants virus

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is an important agent of contagious, acute and febrile viral diseases in small ruminants, while its evolutionary dynamics related to codon usage are still lacking. Herein, we adopted information entropy, the relative synonymous codon usage values and similarity indexes and codon adaptation index to analyze the ...

A Review of Infectious and Non‐Infectious Causes of Pregnancy Loss in Goats

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Goats play a vital role in global agriculture, particularly in developing regions, and are increasingly kept as companion animals. Given their economic and social importance, pregnancy losses in goats represent a substantial challenge, leading to considerable economic losses and raising concerns about animal welfare and public health, as some ...

Epidemiology and genetic characterization of Peste des petits ruminants virus in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2018
AbstractPeste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an acute, highly contagious disease responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates in susceptible sheep and goats. Adequate knowledge of the diversity of circulating strains of PPR virus will help livestock authorities choose appropriate vaccines.

History and current status of peste des petits ruminants virus in Tanzania [PDF]

Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, 2016
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) causes the acute, highly contagious disease peste des petits ruminants (PPR) that affects small domestic and wild ruminants. PPR is of importance in the small livestock-keeping industry in Tanzania, especially in rural areas as it is an important source of livelihood.

MicroRNA expression profiling of goat peripheral blood mononuclear cells in response to peste des petits ruminants virus infection

Veterinary Research, 2018
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) belongs to the genus Morbillivirus that causes an acute and highly contagious disease in goats and sheep. Virus infection can trigger the change in the cellular microRNA (miRNA) expression profile, which play ...

Signature of Selection Analysis Reveals Candidate Genes Related to Climate Adaptation and Production Traits in Lao Native Goats

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 152-171, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Detecting selection footprints offers valuable insight into evolutionary processes and the mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversity in selected traits. Domestication, natural and artificial selection, and breeding have produced indigenous goats well‐adapted to their local environments, making them crucial genetic resources. Understanding the

Portable Molecular Diagnostics for Cetacean Morbillivirus: Development of a Reverse Transcription Insulated Isothermal PCR (RT‐iiPCR) for Global Surveillance

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV) drives recurrent unusual‐mortality events, yet surveillance is uneven where laboratory capacity is limited. We developed a portable reverse transcription‐insulated isothermal PCR (RT‐iiPCR) assay targeting a conserved phosphoprotein (P)‐gene segment and evaluated analytical performance, tissue‐level clinical sensitivity ...
