Outbreaks of peste-des-petits ruminants (PPR) has been reported regularly in Nepal since 1994. Despite this, there has been limited molecular characterization of circulating virus in the country. In this study a 351 bp segment of the nucleoprotein gene of the PPR virus (PPRV) was amplified and sequenced from ten samples collected between 2005 and 2016. Phylogenetic trees were estimated from these sequences using the maximum likelihood method confirming that all of the PPRV from the samples analysed belonged to the sub-clade IV of clade I of lineage IV and that they shared a common origin with other PPRV isolates in the region.
