Md. Foysal, Most.

Rates of morbidity and mortality of PPR can range from 100 to 90%, respectively. In endemic locations, these levels are often lower and death can reach 20%.There have been reports of fatalities in individual flocks during recent epidemics in southern Asia ranging from 35 to 60%.Hence the livestock industry in Bangladesh has been significantly impacted by PPR, especially smallholder farmers who depend on sheep and goats for their income. The disease causes Economic losses, Food security challenges and Livelihood disruption. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the risk factors for PPR in order to provide guidance for efficient control and prevention measures, to monitor the prevalence and distribution of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) among small ruminant populations in Mymensingh , to identify high-risk areas and vulnerable populations for targeted vaccination campaigns and control measures , to detect outbreaks of PPR early and implement rapid response strategies to control the spread of the disease. A representative sample of smallholder farmers provided information on disease history, management techniques, and livestock demography. The study population was characterized using descriptive statistics, and PPR risk variables are found using logistic regression analysis. The findings shows that Prevalence of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in goats is 32.95%.Risk factors like Any Stress, Sharing pasture, Immunity, Season were significantly associated with Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in goats. Young goats, female goats ,local breeds are more prevalent to Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR). These results underline the necessity of focused initiatives to lessen the effects of PPR in the area, such as increased vaccination rates, biosecurity precautions, and community-based disease surveillance.
