Various types of PPR vaccines.

Vaccine Type Reference Remark
Inactivated vaccines Ronchi et al. (2016); Cosseddu et al. (2015) Safe to be used in counties at risk but immunity is of short duration. DIVA not possible
Conventional live-attenuated vaccinea Diallo et al., 1989a, Diallo et al., 1989b; Diallo et al. (2007) Most successful PPR vaccine that is being used all over the globe in PPR control programs. It provides long-lasting immunity but it is thermolabile and DIVA not possible



Conventional PPR vaccines with stabilizers and improved freeze drying methods
Vero cell-adapted vaccine, stabilized with lactalbumin hydrolysate and sucrose Mariner et al. (1990) Relatively thermostable but DIVA not possible
Use of Tris-Trehalose and then quick drying Worrall et al. (2000) Relatively thermostable but DIVA not possible
Use of Tris-Trehalose, glucose and increased concentration of NaCl Silva et al. (2011) Relatively thermostable but DIVA not possible
Combinations of stabilizers and heavy water Sen et al. (2010 Relatively thermostable but DIVA not possible
Vaccines based on thermo-adapted-PPRV (grown at 40 °C) Balamurugan et al., 2014a, Balamurugan et al., 2014b; Riyesh et al. (2011) Relatively thermostable but DIVA not possible



New generation vaccines
Poxvirus vectored vaccines. Berhe et al. (2003); Chen et al. (2010) Relatively thermostable but pre-existing antibodies against vector may interfere vaccine intake
Adenovirus vectored vaccine Herbert et al. (2014); Qin et al. (2012); Wang et al. (2013) DIVA possible but immunity may be of short duration
Insertion of enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) between P and M gene Hu et al. (2012); Muniraju et al. (2015) DIVA possible but immunity may be of short duration
Deletion of C77 monoclonal antibody binding site on H protein Hu et al. (2012); Muniraju et al. (2015) Immunity may be of short duration
Recombinant PPRV expressing the FMDV VP1 gene (rPPRV/VP1) Yin et al. (2014) Potential to serve as dual live vectored vaccine against PPRV and FMDV but duration of immunity is not well defined



Chimeric vaccine
Chimeric RPV-PPRV recombinant virus vaccine Das et al. (2000) Towards end of GREP, the areas that had been declared free of rinderpest could not use the RPV vaccine strain to vaccinate against rinderpest or PPR, Chimeric vaccine could serve this purpose. DIVA is possible but immunity may be of short duration
N protein based, chimeric RPV-PPRV marker vaccine Parida et al. (2007) DIVA possible. Further clinical trials required to precisely evaluate immunity.
Anti-idiotypic vaccine Apsana et al. (2015) Quite heat stable and capable of eliciting antibody and cell-mediate immune response in complete absence of viral antigens
Virus-like particles (VLPs) Liu et al. (2015) Safe and does not require biocontainment facility to handle the virus



Other recombinant vaccines
Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus displaying H glycoprotein of RPV and the F glycoprotein of PPRV Rahman et al. (2003) DIVA possible but protection has not yet been evaluated in natural hosts
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) expressing the H protein Callagy et al. (2007) DIVA possible but protection has not yet been evaluated in natural host. The immunity may be of short duration.
Silk worm larvae-expressing recombinant F protein Saravanan et al. (2004) DIVA possible but protection has not yet been evaluated in natural host. The immunity may be of short duration.
Modified vaccine virus Ankara (MVA) expressing PPRV F and H proteins Sen et al. (2010) DIVA possible but protection has not yet been evaluated in natural hosts. For optimum protection, two doses of vaccine are required prior to challenge



Combined vaccines
Sheep pox and PPR and, goat pox and PPR Chaudhary et al. (2009); Hosamani et al. (2006) Cost effective. Reduce number of needle pricks and hence discomfort to the animals
Heterologous PPR vaccine (RPV vaccine against PPR) Taylor (1979) PPR virus does not required for vaccine production but duration of immunity is only for 12 months
Heterologous rinderpest vaccine (PPRV vaccine against rinderpest) Holzer et al., 2016a, Holzer et al., 2016b No need to preserve stocks of live RPV in the laboratories for future emergence of rinderpest. However, only virulent but not live-attenuated PPRV provided immunity against RPV in cattle
