Abstract

The prevalence rate of antibodies to peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) and rinderpest 
Virus (RPV) antigens was studied using 38 sera samples collected from African grey duiker 
(Sylvicapra grimmia). Of the total, 4 (10.5%) were positive for antibodies to PPRV, while 
none (0%) was positive for RPV. The role of wildlife in the epizootiology of peste des petits 
ruminants is discussed.
