Maedi-Visna: Sero-prevalence and risk factors in sheep population of South Wollo and North Shewa Zones, Ethiopia

Journal of Science and Inclusive Development, 2023
Maedi-Visna (MV) is a chronic disease of adult sheep characterised by progressive interstitial pneumonia and other syndromes such as meningo-encephalitis, indurative mastitis, and arthritis.

Maedi Visna virus infection and TMEM154 genotypes in Valle del Belìce sheep breed

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2023
Maedi Visna (MV) is a viral infection in sheep caused by Lentivirus and characterised by a long incubation period, slow progression, weight loss and eventually death.

An outbreak of small ruminant lentivirus in a Swedish dairy goat herd

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 4, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Small ruminant lentivirus causes severe economic losses, and negatively affects animal welfare in goat herds across the world. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical and pathological consequences of the disease in an affected goat herd, as well as to sequence the virus in infected animals. Seventy‐six percent of the sampled animals

Infection of Dendritic Cells by the Maedi-Visna Lentivirus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2000
ABSTRACTThe early stages of lentivirus infection of dendritic cells have been studied in an in vivo model. Maedi-visna virus (MVV) is a natural pathogen of sheep with a tropism for macrophages, but the infection of dendritic cells has not been proven, largely because of the difficulties of definitively distinguishing the two cell types.

Multiple infections of zoonotic pathogens in wild Brandt's voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2201-2211, September 2023., 2023
Our research revealed the viral and bacterial diversity in wild Brandt's voles. The characterization and distinctive lineage of some rodent‐specific viruses (Cytomegalovirus, PestVs and Lentiviruses) and rodent‐borne bacteria (Leptospira interrogans and Vibrio cholerae) indicates that wild Brandt's voles may harbor a diversity of viruses and bacteria ...

Associations between small ruminant lentivirus infection and total milk yield and somatic cell count in a dairy sheep flock

Veterinary Record, Volume 192, Issue 11, 3/10 June 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are lentiviruses of sheep and goats, formerly known as maedi–visna (MV) in sheep and caprine encephalitis and arthritis in goats. In sheep, SRLVs commonly cause progressive pneumonia, wasting and indurative mastitis.

Failure to detect Schmallenberg virus RNA in ram semen in the UK (2016–2018)

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a midge‐borne arbovirus that first emerged in the European ruminant population in 2011 and has since settled to an endemic pattern of disease outbreaks on an approximately 4‐year cycle when herd immunity from the previous circulation drops to a point allowing renewed widescale virus circulation.

To scan or not to scan? Efficacy of transthoracic ultrasonography for ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma screening in a large commercial UK sheep flock

Veterinary Record, Volume 191, Issue 3, 6/13 August 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Transthoracic ultrasonography (TTUS) is currently the only widely used method to diagnose preclinical or subclinical ovine pulmonary adenocarcinoma (OPA) in the live sheep. However, little is known about the test characteristics of TTUS.

Association of Ovar‐DRB1 alleles with innate immune responses in sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 752-757, March 2022., 2022
Results of this study provided additional support for the association between Ovar‐DRB1 alleles and regulation of immune responses in sheep population. Description of MHC polymorphism and its role in the controlling of immune responses will increase our understanding of host‐pathogen interactions, and ultimately facilitate the selection of disease ...
