The North Eastern Karnataka with sizable sheep and goat population experiences the outbreaks of PPR but the attempts to isolate and characterize the prevailing PPR virus is limited. Hence, the present research work was carried out with the objective of isolation and characterization of PPR virus isolates circulating in North Eastern Karnataka by microscopic (TEM) and molecular (RT-PCR) methods. | Isolation molecular and electron microscopic detection of PPR virus from suspected outbreaks of PPR in goats of north Eastern Karnataka India
