Association of Haematological Parameters With TLR Genes in Healthy and Distemper‐Infected Dogs Haematology and TLRs in Distemper

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
The distemper‐infected dogs presented with an upregulated expression of the immune recognition receptors TLR3, TLR4 and TLR9. In the distemper‐infected dogs, there was a positive correlation between the TLR1 and PWD, TLR4 and WBC, Gran and Gran%, TLR5 and HCT, TLR6 and Gran%, TLR7 and MCV and TLR7 and PDW, as well as a negative correlation between the ...

Small Ruminant Farming in Benin: Characterization, Knowledge and Practices of Breeders Facing Peste des Petits Ruminants

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
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.

Long‐term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 553-569, March 2026.
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

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 ...

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 ...

Empirical and model-based evidence for a negligible role of cattle in peste des petits ruminants virus transmission and eradication

Communications Biology
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is a multi-host pathogen with sheep and goats as main hosts. To investigate the role of cattle in the epidemiology of PPR, we simulated conditions similar to East African zero-grazing husbandry practices in a ...

Seroprevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus in Small Ruminants of Punjab, Pakistan

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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,

Field-adapted PPRV whole genome MinION library build v1

, 2018
Peste-des-petit-ruminants virus is currently the focus of a control and eradication program launched by the FAO and OIE. One of the important steps in the control strategy is strengthening the laboratory capacity and improve molecular methods to characterize field isolates.

The long noncoding RNA APR attenuates PPRV infection-induced accumulation of intracellular iron to inhibit membrane lipid peroxidation and viral replication

mBio
Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is an important pathogen that has long been a significant threat to small ruminant productivity worldwide. Iron metabolism is vital to the host and the pathogen.

Analysing Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Estimating the Spatial Distribution of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Africa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious disease that primarily affects small ruminants such as sheep and goats. Since first emerging in Africa, it has rapidly spread throughout the continent, causing significant mortality and posing a serious threat to livestock production and food security. In this study, we integrated diverse datasets
