2010年8月至2011年2月期间，库尔德斯坦记录了750多只野山羊（Capra aegagrus，家养山羊的濒危祖先）死亡。根据临床症状和尸检结果，怀疑涉及小反刍兽疫病毒（PPRV）。实验室分析证实了这一点，并发现该病毒与2000年分离的土耳其菌株密切相关。在野山羊暴发期间，未报告家畜患病。该地区的家养反刍动物常规接种基于PPRV尼日利亚/75/1毒株的减毒疫苗。这是库尔德斯坦首次报告PPRV感染，很可能是疫苗接种提供的免疫力防止了溢出感染。因此，建议继续开展这一运动。相反，没有理由使用武力使濒临灭绝的野山羊远离家养羊群。
Between August 2010 and February 2011, over 750 deaths were recorded among wild goats (Capra aegagrus, the endangered progenitor of the domestic goat) in Kurdistan. Based on the clinical signs and post-mortem findings, the involvement of peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) was suspected. This was confirmed by laboratory analysis, and the virus was found to be closely related to a Turkish strain isolated in 2000. During the outbreak in wild goats, no disease in domestic animals was reported. Domestic ruminants in the region are routinely vaccinated with an attenuated vaccine based on the Nigeria/75/1 strain of PPRV. This is the first report of active PPRV infection in Kurdistan and most likely the immunity afforded by vaccination prevented spillover infections. It is therefore recommended to continue with the campaign. Conversely, there is no justification for the use of force to keep the endangered wild goats away from domestic flocks.
