Abstract: Importance of epidemiological information regarding the risk factors for peste des petits ruminant (PPR) infection led us to conduct a case-control study to measure the association between the PPR infection and possible risk factors. We used enzyme immuno slide assay (EISA) to check the status of the suspected clinical cases by antigen detection. Clinically suspected cases found positive by EISA were considered as case and negatives were considered as control. We compared 23 cases with 23 controls (1:1). We applied backward binary logistic regression to asses the association between the PPR cases and possible risk factors. Two risk factors remained statistically significant in the final model: Black Bengal breed (OR 5.048 [95 per cent CI 1.059 – 24.068]) and communal grazing (OR 7.802 [95 per cent CI 1.369 to 44.449]). The results of the study will be helpful for the planning of the prevention and control of PPR infection in goat in Bangladesh.
