Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are classical slow retroviruses causing chronic
inflammatory disease in a variety of target organs. The routes of transmission have been …

The major route of transmission of caprine-encephalitis virus (CAEV) is through the
ingestion of CAEV-infected colostrum or milk. Less efficient routes of transmission are …

We performed a phylogenetic analysis of caprine and ovine lentiviruses using long
sequences in gag and pol of 104 new Swiss isolates and six available corresponding …

ABSTRACT Small-ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV), which include the caprine arthritis-
encephalitis and the maedi-visna virus, cause persistent inflammatory infections in goats …

A single feeding of milk containing 2× 0 7 TCID 50 of infectious caprine arthritis-encephalitis
virus (CAEV) infected 50% of newborn kids. Lesser amounts were not infectious when given …

The effects of caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus on lactational performance of goats were
examined. The results of an ELISA for antibodies against caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus …

Incidence of seroconversion to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (caev) was determined for
1,194 goats on 11 dairies, using 2 repeated annual herd tests for caev. Current life table …

A new ELISA kit was developed, based on highly purified whole‐virus antigen derived from
the Swiss maedi‐visna virus strain OLV. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of this …

The aim of this work was to perform a complete study of maedi-visna virus (MVV) infected
mammary glands of naturally-infected sheep, and to determine if cells other than …

Background In order to characterize the complete range of lesions, especially minimal,
affecting mammary gland and viral antigen distribution and target cells using …
