Abstract
At present it is impossible to differentiate animals which have been vaccinated from those which are infected with rinderpest virus. This poses major problems in interpreting serum surveillance data and prevents the use of ring vaccination to contain outbreaks of rinderpest. Funded though DFID and in collaboration with another DFID-funded project at IAH to develop marked rinderpest vaccines, we are developing chromatographic strip test assays which can be carried out in the field to differentiate vaccinated from infected animals.
