摘要: In the frame work of Pan African Control Epizootics (PACE) Program, a cross-sectional serological survey for rinderpest (RP) was conducted among non-vaccinated cattle in Unity State, Sudan. A total 280 serum samples were collected from cattle different ages and both sexes in eight sites between June December 2004. These sera tested antibodies against virus (RPV) using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA). Only 15.4% positive to RPV locations state. An obvious significant (p<0.05) variation prevalence among various noted. significantly (p <0.01) higher levels rates observed age group 5 10 years compared other groups. The results also indicated females is always than male animals (p<0.05). Our data demonstrated situation RP unity state, only locus known harbor disease country at large. This helped by designing strategic eradication plan leading declare Sudan as free 2005.   Key words: Rinderpest, c-ELISA, eradication, Unity
