Neurotoxic mechanisms of transactivating protein Tat of Maedi-Visna virus
Neuroscience Letters, 1995Infection by lentiviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) is associated with neurodegenerative disorders. We have investigated the neurotoxic mechanisms of a synthetic peptide of transactivating protein tat of MVV in striatal neuronal cultures.

Immune response to maedi-visna virus
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2007The ovine maedi-visna virus (MVV) was the first lentivirus to be isolated and characterized 1957 in Iceland. MVV leads to a life-long, persistent infection with slow development of lesions in the lung and the central nervous system (CNS). The main target cells of MVV are of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and it does not infect T-lymphocytes or cause ...

Ultrastructural studies on Maedi-Visna virus
Archives of Virology, 1980Ultrastructural studies of Maedi-Visna virus (MVV) particles isolated from tissue culture fluids of MVV-infected cells as well as cultured cells infected with MVV were performed. MVV particles aree bounded by an envelope with projections loosely attached to its surface.

The biology of maedi-visna virus—An overview
British Veterinary Journal, 1993This review aims to summarize the current understanding of the biology of maedi-visna virus (MVV), the prototype virus of the family lentivirinae. The paper provides a short overview of the historical background to the discovery of MVV. Detailed descriptions of the structure and organization of the MVV genome and of the virion encoded polypeptides are ...

Cross Neutralization of Maedi‐Visna Virus Strains*
Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe B, 1984SummaryCross‐neutralization of four Norwegian, two Icelandic and one Danish maedi‐visna virus strains was carried out with a panel of sheep antisera. Sheep antiserum to visna virus glycoprotein was the only one that did not show cross‐neutralization. The other sera showed varying degrees of cross‐reactivity.

DNA Vaccines Against Maedi–Visna Virus
2016Maedi-visna virus (MVV) is an ovine retrovirus of the Lentivirus genus, responsible for a chronic and progressive disease of sheep with a high prevalence all over the world. Therefore, measures aiming at the control of MVV infection are necessary, and the development of DNA vaccines may be the ideal approach.

Maedi-visna virus persistence: Antigenic variation and latency
Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2017Maedi-visna virus (MVV), a lentivirus of sheep, shares with other lentiviruses the ability to establish a lifelong infection. In this study five sheep were infected intravenously with MVV and housed together with a number of uninfected sheep for natural transmission.

Genomic Characterization of a Slow/Low Maedi Visna Virus
Virus Genes, 2004The complete genomic sequence of a sheep lentivirus isolate that presents a slow/low phenotype in vitro has been determined. The virus, designated P1OLV, was isolated from lung cells of a naturally infected sheep in Portugal. Three overlapping DNA fragments amplified by PCR, and encompassing the entire viral genome were cloned and sequenced.

Investigations of a flock heavily infected with maedi-visna virus
Veterinary Record, 1983Following the discovery that a flock of sheep in England was infected with the virus of maedi-virus, several seropositive sheep were brought to the Central Veterinary Laboratory and kept isolated and under observation for up to three years before being further examined at necropsy.
