Retroviral Infections in Sheep and Goats: Small Ruminant Lentiviruses and Host Interaction [PDF]
Viruses, 2013 Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are members of the Retrovirus family comprising the closely related Visna/Maedi Virus (VMV) and the Caprine Arthritis-Encephalitis Virus (CAEV), which infect sheep and goats. Both infect cells of the monocyte/macrophage

Molecular Characterization of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses Isolated from Polish Goats with Arthritis [PDF]
Viruses, 2022 Previous studies revealed that the small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) population in Poland is highly heterogeneous. All SRLVs detected from Polish sheep and goats so far have belonged to subtypes B1, B2, A1, A5, A12, A13, A16, A17, A18, A23 and A24 ...

Recombinant CA Protein-Based ELISA for Serological Detection of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses Antibodies. [PDF]
Transbound Emerg DisMaedi‐visna (MV) and caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) are important viral diseases of sheep and goats. The diseases are caused by a group of genetically closely related lentiviruses known as small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV), and are collectively referred to as SRLV infections. As the majority of sheep and goats infected with SRLV are asymptomatic,

Testing the Tenacity of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses In Vitro to Assess the Potential Risk of Indirect Fomites’ Transmission [PDF]
VirusesIn 2011–2013, we isolated and characterized small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) from two flocks, one of goats and the other of sheep, that had never been in direct contact. Phylogenetic analysis of these viruses indicated a common origin, which led us to

Quasispecies Composition of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses Found in Blood Leukocytes and Milk Epithelial Cells [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) exist as populations of closely related genetic variants, known as quasispecies, within an individual host. The privileged way of SRLVs transmission in goats is through the ingestion of colostrum and milk of infected ...
