title: Serum-virus simultaneous method of immunisation against peste des petits ruminants.
abstract: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) hyperimmune serum was prepared in cattle and used to protect goats against PPR. The serum was well tolerated by goats and 8 ml of serum was found to protect goats against 4 ml of pooled virulent PPR virus. A durable active immunity was conferred on goats when serum and virulent PPR virus were given simultaneously. Passive immunity lasted for 15 days.
