Abstract

Seroprevalence of PPR in goats of Kerala was studied using competitive ELISA. Four hundred and twelve samples were collected from all districts of Kerala and were subjected to cELISA for detecting antibodies against PPR infection. Sixty four samples (15.05 per cent) were found positive for PPR antibodies, which could be due to the increased movement of animals from neighbouring states.
