Modeling the Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) disease transmission dynamics with impacts of vaccination and restocking in small ruminant population in Amhara region, Ethiopia

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: . The analytical and numerical results reveal that infected restocked small ruminants significantly facilitate the spread of PPR in the population. Moreover, even with high efficacy vaccination, the system exhibits a unique asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium. These findings emphasize that appropriate vaccination alone is insufficient to control and eradicate PPR in the region. Implementing strict movement restrictions and biosecurity measures are necessary. These findings provide valuable insights for national policymakers in achieving the regional and national targets for PPR eradication by 2027.
