Eradication of rinderpest is imperative for developing an export-oriented livestock industry in Pakistan. Drawing mainly from the Indian and African perspectives, a control and eradication strategy has been proposed. The main components of this strategy include active surveillance of the disease, control of animal movement, evolving a national disease reporting system, establishment of a national reference laboratory, training of veterinary and field staff, sera-monitoring of vaccinated animals, establishment of an independent central quality control laboratory, development of a cocktail vaccine, and implementing a concerted research programme on this potentially devastating transboundary disease of ruminants. Some potential limitations of the programme have also been listed.
