dc.description.abstract | Peste des Petis ruminatns(PPR), a highly contagious infectious and enonomically significant viral diseases of sheep and goats is endemic in Kenya and has no specific treatment. Control of PPR outbreaks relies on movement controls and vaccination. Currently, vaccination is done using a live attenuated vaccine which is heat labile. This necessitates maintanance of a cold chain. An experimetn was conducted to address this drawback by producing a thermo-tolerant vacine containing trehalose as astabilizer. | en |
