A total of 432 swabs (nasal, ocular and mouth), 100 tissue samples (lung, spleen, intestine and lymph node were tested by immuno- capture ELISA for detection of PPRV antigen revealing that 133 (30.7%) of swabs and 38 (38%) of tissues were positive. Out of 1339 serum samples were tested by competitive ELISA (cELISA) for detection of PPRV antibodies, 853 (63.7%) were positive.
