Ovine rinderpest, also commonly known as ''peste des petits ruminants'' (PPR), is a contagious disease affecting goats and sheep in Africa (from the Tropic of Cancer to the Equator), the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. But since June 2008, the disease invaded Morocco, which indicates a crossing of the natural barrier of the Sahara. It is caused by a species of the ''Morbillivirus'' genus of viruses. The disease is highly contagious, and has roughly an 80 percent mortality rate in acute cases. == Disease appellations == Traditionally, the name ''kata'' was given to stomatitis and pneumoenteritis of the Nigerian dwarf goat. 〔D.C. Blood, J.A. Henderson, O.M. Radostits, Veterinary Medicine, Bailmlière Tindall, London, ISBN 0-7020-0718-8.〕 ''Peste des Petits Ruminants'' was the French name of a similar disease of sheep and goats first described in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in 1942. These diseases have been shown to be very close to each other. 〔Rowland A.C. Scott, G.R., Ramachandran, S. and Hill D.H. (1971) A comparative study of peste de petits ruminants and Kata in West African dwarf goats. ''Tropical Animal Health and Production'', 3, 241–245.〕 Many authors prefer the name "Ovine Rinderpest". But official agencies such as the FAO and OIE use the French name "''Peste des Petits Ruminants''", "''Peste Des Petits Ruminants''", "''Peste-des-Petits-Ruminants''" or "''Peste-des-petits-ruminants''", even in English, although the phrase ''Goat Plague'' is becoming more widely used in the popular press. The French acronym, PPR, is commonly used among veterinary professionals in East Africa.
