Abstract
Between August and September 2016 pathological samples were collected from sheep and goats following suspected peste des petits ruminants (PPR) outbreaks in western Mongolia. RT-PCR followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the samples confirmed the presence of a PPR virus belonging to lineage IV. A full genome analysis of the viral RNA from one of the samples revealed a high similarity (99.0-99.5%) with PPR viruses currently circulating in China (2013-2015) indicating a common origin. This is the first genetic characterization of PPR virus in Mongolia and the data generated will have important implications for control and management of the disease in the region.Entities:
