Abstract: Peste des petits ruminants is an acute, contagious, and highly fatal viral disease that affects different animal species which is caused by Morbillivirus in the family Paramyxoviridae. The genome contains six transcription units encoding in sequential order, the nucleocapsid (N) protein, the phospho (P) protein, the matrix (M) protein, the fusion (F) protein, the hemagglutinin (H) protein and the large (L) protein. The virus exists as a single serotype but the genetic level is divided into four distinct lineages (I-IV) based on the fusion (F) protein gene sequence. The disease occurs in Africa, in most of the Middle East, Arabian Peninsula, Europe and in parts of Asia including much of the Indian subcontinent.
