The First Genomic Analysis of Visna/Maedi Virus Isolates in China [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 Visna/Maedi virus (VMV) is a neglected pathogen that damages sheep and goats' nervous and respiratory systems. The virus was discovered 80 years ago and has been endemic in China for nearly four decades; nevertheless, there is little information ...

Role of alveolar macrophages in respiratory transmission of visna/maedi virus. [PDF]
J Virol, 2008 ABSTRACTA major route of transmission ofVisna/maedi virus(VMV), an ovine lentivirus, is thought to be via the respiratory tract, by inhalation of either cell-free or cell-associated virus. In previous studies, we have shown that infection via the lower respiratory tract is much more efficient than via upper respiratory tissues (T. N.

Ovine TRIM5α can restrict visna/maedi virus. [PDF]
J Virol, 2012 ABSTRACT The restrictive properties of tripartite motif-containing 5 alpha (TRIM5α) from small ruminant species have not been explored. Here, we identify highly similar TRIM5α sequences in sheep and goats. Cells transduced with ovine TRIM5α effectively restricted the lentivirus visna/maedi virus DNA synthesis.

Seroprevalence of Visna-Maedi Virus (VMV) and Border Disease Virus (BDV) in Van province and around [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2018 The present study investigated the seroprevalance of Visna Maedi Virus (VMV) and Border Disease Virus (BDV) infections in sheeps in regions in and around Van province, Turkey. Sample materials were taken from 360 sheep sent to slaughterhouses around Van.

Identification of the ovine mannose receptor and its possible role in Visna/Maedi virus infection. [PDF]
Vet Res, 2011 This study aims to characterize the mannose receptor (MR) gene in sheep and its role in ovine visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection. The deduced amino acid sequence of ovine MR was compatible with a transmembrane protein having a cysteine-rich ricin-type ...

Characterization of the lymphocytic alveolitis in visna‐maedi virus‐induced interstitial lung disease of sheep [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1992 SUMMARYIn order to investigate the contribution of lymphocytes to interstitial lung disease in animals with visna-maedi infection, we studied in parallel bronchoalveolar cells and lung tissue from slaughterhouse animals (n = 29) and from colostrum-deprived lambs transtracheally inoculated with field isolates of visna-maedi virus (n = 9) or saline (n ...

Effects of housing on the incidence of visna/maedi virus infection in sheep flocks. [PDF]
Research in Veterinary Science, 2010 The incidence of seroconversion to visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection and its relationship with management and sheep building structure was investigated in 15 dairy sheep flocks in Spain during 3-7years. Incidence rates were 0.09 per sheep-year at risk in semi-intensive Latxa flocks and 0.44 per sheep-year at risk in intensive Assaf flocks and was ...

Experimental infection of sheep with visna/maedi virus via the conjunctival space.
Journal of General Virology, 2008 Experiments were performed to determine whether visna/maedi virus (VMV), a small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV), could infect sheep via ocular tissues. The EV1 strain of VMV was administered into the conjunctival space of uninfected sheep, and the animals ...
