Spatio-temporal distribution of confirmed and unconfirmed cases of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in several wild ungulate species in Mongolia. Each panel illustrates cases that occurred during the panel-specific time period (incident cases) and cases that occurred during previous periods (past cases). In the 2 periods before the first laboratory confirmation of PPR in saiga in December 2016, two clusters of unconfirmed cases (open shapes) were documented and matched the pattern of livestock P

Figure 4. Spatiotemporal distribution of confirmed and unconfirmed cases of peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in several wild ungulate species in Mongolia. Each panel illustrates cases that occurred during the panel-specific time period (incident cases) and cases that occurred during previous periods (past cases). In the 2 periods before the first laboratory confirmation of PPR in saiga in December 2016, 2 clusters of unconfirmed cases (open shapes) were documented and matched the pattern of livestock PPR case distribution. In January 2017, the outbreak spread rapidly through the saiga population and expanded southward and northward from February 2017 through May 2017, when the last confirmed saiga cases were reported. Subsequent PPR cases involved ibex until at least January 2018. Maps at bottom show location of study area in Mongolia and specific location names.
