Peste des petits ruminants (PPRV) is a transboundary, highly contagious, and economically significant viral disease affecting small ruminants and wildlife. PPRV, a disease that only targets animals, is the focus of the Global Eradication Programme (PPRV GEP), which aims to eradicate the disease by 2030. Following the completion of the first phase of the GEP (20172021), Pakistan has initiated the second phase: PPRV presence and the implementation of a control strategy. Rapid and accurate laboratory diagnosis is vital to the disease's effective control and eradication. In the present study, we have improved diagnosis by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which not only can detect low viral concentrations but also contributes to the genetic analysis of lineage-IV viruses. However, the development of cost-effective indirect ELISA (iELISA) may allow for the analysis of serum samples obtained from larger populations of small ruminants.
