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

A novel enterovirus in lambs with poliomyelitis and brain stem encephalitis
Abstract An Austrian organic dairy sheep farm experienced cases of recumbency and sudden deaths in 3‐ to 4‐week‐old lambs. Two animals were subjected to thorough clinical and pathological investigations. Pathohistological analysis identified severe nonsuppurative myelitis and mild nonsuppurative encephalitis.

Abstract Small ruminant lentivirus infections in sheep most commonly present with respiratory signs (maedi) and indurative mastitis, while primary neurological signs (visna) have rarely been reported in Great Britain (GB). Most reports of visna describe signs referable to myelitis, although central signs associated with encephalitis may feature.

Pestivirus apparent prevalence in sheep and goats in Northern Ireland: A serological survey
Abstract Background: Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and border disease virus (BDV) can cause significant health problems in ruminants and economic impacts for farmers. The aim of this study was to evaluate pestivirus exposure in Northern Ireland sheep and goat flocks, and to compare findings with a previous study from the region. Methods: Up to 20

Demonstration of coinfection with and recombination by caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus and maedi-visna virus in naturally infected goats. [PDF]
Recombination of different strains and subtypes is a hallmark of lentivirus infections, particularly for human immunodeficiency virus, and contributes significantly to viral diversity and evolution both within individual hosts and within populations ...

Vaccination delays maedi-visna lentivirus infection in a naturally-infected sheep flock
Background The Maedi-Visna (MV) lentivirus causes two slowly progressive eventually fatal diseases of sheep, Maedi, a progressive interstitial pneumonia, and Visna, a progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.

PREVALENCE OF MAEDI-VISNA IN SHEEP HERDS
Progressive sheep pheumonia and maedi are terms that denote chronic virus sheep disease. Maedi-visna virus causes a disease named visna, which is a disease of nervous system with the symptoms of paresis and paralyses.

Pathological, molecular, and serological study of small ruminant lentiviruses in Jordan [PDF]
Background and Aim: Maedi-visna is a chronic viral disease of sheep with worldwide distribution causing substantial economic losses to the small ruminant industry. Pneumonia and mastitis are the main manifestations of the disease.
