Evolution of Specific Antibodies and Proviral DNA in Milk of Small Ruminants Infected by Small Ruminant Lentivirus [PDF]
Viruses, 2013 The diagnosis of Small Ruminant Lentivirus (SRLV) is based on clinical signs, pathological lesions and laboratory testing. No standard reference test for the diagnosis of maedi visna has been validated up to the present, and it is puzzling that tests ...

Mannose receptor may be involved in small ruminant lentivirus pathogenesis [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2012 Thirty-one sheep naturally infected with small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) of known genotype (A or B), and clinically affected with neurological disease, pneumonia or arthritis were used to analyse mannose receptor (MR) expression (transcript levels ...

Detection of small ruminant Lentivirus proviral DNA in red deer from Poland [PDF]
BMC Veterinary ResearchSmall ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are widespread and infect goats and sheep. Several reports also suggest that SRLVs can infect wild ruminants. The presence of specific antibodies against SRLVs has been identified in wild ruminants from Poland, but no ...

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

Classification of small ruminant lentivirus subtype A2, subgroups 1 and 2 based on whole genome comparisons and complex recombination patterns [version 2; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2021 Background: Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) cause a multisystemic chronic wasting disease in sheep across much of the world. SRLV subtype A2 is prevalent in North America and further classified into multiple subgroups based on variation in the group ...

Influence of Small Ruminant Lentivirus Infection on Reproductive Traits in Ewes
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2013 The study included a sheep flock comprising five genetic groups. The ELISA was applied to perform constant monitoring (every six months) for the infection of ewes with small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV).

Serological detection of small ruminant lentivirus infection in Babylon Governorate, Iraq
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary MedicineSmall ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) is a chronic and widespread infection among sheep and goats worldwide, leading to significant economic losses. Therefore, there is growing concern about screen-ing for this disease, particularly in Iraq.

A new approach for Small Ruminant Lentivirus full genome characterization revealed the circulation of divergent strains. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Small Ruminant Lentiviruses (SRLV) include at least 4 viral highly divergent genotypes. Genotypes A and B are widely distributed and genotypes C and E have been recognized in restricted geographic areas.
