Abstract:

A Peste des petits ruminant (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of sheep and goats characterized by high morbidity and mortality. The present study was conducted to determine comparative efficacy of F and N gene based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for molecular detection of PPR virus from clinical samples from goat flocks in Ambala district of Haryana. Out of 36 clinical samples tested, 28 samples were found positive by N gene-based primers, however, 23 samples were found positive by F gene based primer set. Hence, N gene-based RT-PCR used in this study was found to be more sensitive for detection of PPRV as compared to F gene based assay. The nucleotide sequence analysis and inferred phylogenetic relationship revealed the presence of lineage IV of PPRV.
