  abstract = {{B}ackground: {P}este des petits ruminanats ({PPR}) is an economically important viral disease affecting goats and sheep. {F}our genetically distinct lineages of peste des petits ruminants virus ({PPRV}) have been identified. {I}n {G}abon, the virus has not so far been detected. {F}indings: {E}pidemiological investigations of {A}boumi {PPR} outbreak revealed a high case fatality rate in sheep (98.9%). {W}e detected and characterized peste des petits ruminants virus ({PPRV}), in {O}ctober 2011, during the suspected outbreak in sheep and goats in {A}boumi village located in the south-eastern. {PPRV} {RNA} was detected in 10 of 14 samples from three sick animals. {P}hylogenetic analysis revealed that the {PPRV} strain belonged to lineage {IV} and was closely related to strain circulating in neighboring {C}ameroon. {C}onclusions: {T}his is the first molecular detection and typing of the {PPRV} strain associated with fatal {PPR} infection in these small ruminants and concrete evidence that {PPRV} is present and circulating in {G}abon.},
