Abstract

The Somali region of Ethiopia, predominantly inhabited by pastoralists, faces serious threats to food security and economy from livestock diseases. Among these diseases, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP) are of major concern, especially in small ruminants such as goats, with high morbidity and mortality rates. To evaluate the impact of treatment interventions (administration of 20% oxytetracycline and Penistripe) and mass vaccination campaigns on the morbidity and mortality rates caused by PPR and CCPP outbreaks. The research method will focus on the epidemiological analysis of concurrent PPR and CCPP outbreaks in Jarar and Doollo Zones, Somali Region, Ethiopia in February 2025, by reviewing laboratory confirmation data and responses to interventions. The study will also evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment and mass vaccination campaigns in controlling the spread of diseases in small ruminants in the region. The research results showed that the detection of PPR Ag in the nasal discharge of infected caprine provided strong evidence of active PPR infection, also the detection of CCPP antibodies in the serum of infected caprine showed clearly active for CCPP infection. The research conclusion is that successfully control the spread of PPR, immediate intervention measures are mandatory, such as vaccinations campaigns, isolation of sick and healthy animals and treatment of infected animals are imperative.

Abstract

Pasteurellosis pneumonia caused by Mannheimia hemolytica and Pasteurella multocida causes significant economic losses in sheep production and has zoonotic potential. However, epidemiological and antimicrobial resistance data from the Somali region are still limited. To estimate the prevalence of M. hemolytica and P. multocida, identify associated risk factors, and evaluate the antimicrobial resistance profile of sheep at the Jigjiga slaughterhouse in Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to August 2023 in which 384 sheep lung samples at the Jigjiga slaughterhouse. Bacteriological isolation, biochemical identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were performed via the disk diffusion method. Data were analyzed via STATA 16.0 with descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The overall prevalence of Pasteurella spp. isolates was 26.8% (95% CI: 22.46-31.55), with M. hemolytica and P. multocida accounting for 19.79% and 7.03%, respectively. Young sheep had a 2.15-fold greater risk (OR=2.15; 95% CI: 1.33–3.48; P=0.002) than adults did. Poor body condition increased the risk by 2.44 times (OR=2.44; 95% CI: 1.18–5.04; P=0.016) compared with moderate body condition. High sensitivity to gentamicin (100% M. hemolytica, 85.71% P. multocida) and kanamycin (97.36% M. hemolytica, 92.85% P. multocida) was detected. High resistance to oxytetracycline (92.10% M. hemolytica, 100% P. multocida), tetracycline (81.52% vs. 92.85%), penicillin-G (86.84% vs. 85.71%), and ampicillin (73.52% vs. 78.57%) was detected. The prevalence of multidrug resistance reached 81.57% in M. hemolytica isolates and 92.85% in P. multocida isolates. The prevalence of Pasteurellosis in sheep in Jigjiga is quite high, with M. hemolytica being the most dominant species. Antimicrobial surveillance programs, integrated control strategies, and molecular characterization of isolates are needed.
