Rinderpest and Peste des Petits Ruminants tells the story of how,
by the year 2010, scientists are set to globally eradicate one of
the great historic plagues that has ravaged human livestock for
centuries. Descriptions of the disease in Europe date back to the
4th century and it was regularly re-introduced following wars and
other civil unrest until late in the 19th century. It was
introduced with devastating effect into Africa towards the end of
the 19th century and is now widespread across sub-Saharan Africa,
the Middle East and Southern Asia. Its causative agent, rinderpest
virus, a morbillivirus very closely related to human measles virus,
decimates the cattle population along with those of other
susceptible domestic ruminants and many wildlife species wherever
it is present.
