An Immunodominant Region of the Envelope Glycoprotein of Small Ruminant Lentiviruses May Function as Decoy Antigen. [PDF]

Viruses, 2018
(1) Background: Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) persist in infected goats that mount a strong humoral immune response characterized by low neutralizing titers.

Duplex nested-PCR for detection of small ruminant lentiviruses. [PDF]

Braz J Microbiol, 2018
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) have high genetic variability which results in different viral strains around the world. This create a challenge to design sensible primers for molecular diagnosis in different regions. This work proposes a protocol of duplex nested-PCR for the precise diagnosis of SRLV.

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

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.

Establishment of Immortalized Yak Ruminal Epithelial Cell Lines by Lentivirus‐Mediated SV40T and hTERT Gene Transduction

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Yak is a unique species of cattle that is adapted to the harsh natural environment of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. Research on the function of the yak rumen is limited to animal experiments, and the cell molecular mechanism is very limited. The high cost of isolation and culture of adult yak rumen epithelial cells (YRECs), low success rate, and limited ...

Lymphoplasmacytic and eosinophilic enteritis with or without globule leukocyte hyperplasia in 4 goats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 1620-1625, May/June 2021., 2021
Abstract Four, mature, client‐owned goats were presented to referral hospitals for recurrent diarrhea despite treatment for intestinal parasitism. Common clinical findings included diarrhea, poor condition, neutrophilia, and hypoalbuminemia. Testing for common infectious causes of diarrhea in goats was negative.

Ovine Progressive Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Seroprevalence in the South of Sonora, Mexico

Case Reports in Veterinary Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Ovine progressive pneumonia (OPP) is the most severe presentation of small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infection known as Maedi‐Visna. Serological evidence in Mexico of the presence of this lentivirus was published in 1986. After that, studies revealed that SRLVs have a broad distribution in Mexico by detecting antibodies or/and molecular tests; however,

Genetic Diversity of the LTR Region of Polish SRLVs and Its Impact on the Transcriptional Activity of Viral Promoters

Viruses, 2023
A long terminal repeat (LTR) plays an indispensable role in small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) gene expression. In this study, we present the LTR sequence of Polish SRLVs representing different subtypes, and analyzed their impact on SRLV promoter activity,

SEROPREVALENCE OF SMALL RUMINANT LENTIVIRUS INFECTION IN A GOAT FLOCK IN EASTERN ROMANIA [PDF]

Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment, 2023
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) pose significant economic challenges to goat farming and have a detrimental impact on animal welfare. The objectives of this study were to deepen our comprehension of SRLV infections and their implications for small ...
