[Serological survey of small ruminants in 4 districts of Niger].
In 1990, a serosurvey on 1,474 small ruminants was conducted in four districts of Niger (Maradi, Zinder, Diffa and Dosso). The epidemiology and seroprevalence of eight diseases were studied: Brucella melitensis and B. ovis brucellosis, chlamydiosis, coxiellosis, contagious caprine pleuropneumonia, type A pasteurellosis, peste des petits ruminants, Rift Valley fever, Crimée-Congo haemorragic fever. The main health problem for the development of small ruminants farming, seems to be both pasteurellosis and peste des petits ruminants.
