Pirbright reveals true cost of goat plague vaccination campaigns
A study led by The Pirbright Institute has created the first framework for determining the true cost of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) vaccine campaigns based on case studies in Ethiopia. PPR, also known as goat plague, is a contagious viral disease of sheep and goats which has severe socio-economic impacts on farmers with affected flocks across large parts of Africa and Asia.
