Author(s): Mahmuda Malik, Taibur Rahman and Sushanta Goswami
Abstract: Peste des petits ruminants is an acute viral disease of small ruminants caused by genus Morbillivirus and family Paramyxoviridae. The present study was undertaken to observe gross pathology, histopathology and histoenzymic alterations in experimentally produced cases of PPR. Necropsy examination revealed broncho-interstitial pneumonia, linear haemorrhage in intestine and congestion in lymph nodes. Histopathological study revealed ulcer formation on the epithelium of the tongue and lips, depletion of lymphoid cells in lymph node and spleen with syncytia formation. Histoenzymic study revealed mild lactate dehydrogenase activity in lymph node, spleen and in the tip of the hyperplastic bronchial epithelium. While intense alkaline phosphatase activity was seen in the affected lung and follicles of lymph node.
