Healthy, PPRV sero-negative Black Bengal goats (12) were divided into three groups and levamisole was injected in two groups @ 2.5 and @ 5.0 mg/kg body weight with three doses at 24 h intervals. After seven days all the animals were vaccinated with PPR vaccine. On i-ELISA, the magnitude of antibody titre in serum samples was more in levamisole and PPR vaccine treated groups than only PPR vaccine treated group. It was concluded that levamisole may be injected @ 2.5 to 5.0 mg/kg body weight to get stronger immunity against PPR in infection-prone region.
