AZT inhibits Visna/maedi virus-induced apoptosis

Archives of Virology, 2004
Visna/maedi virus (VMV) causes severe encephalitis and a progressive demyelinating disease in sheep. Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that VMV-infection leads to apoptosis in sheep choroid plexus cells (SCPC) via induction of both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways with subsequent activation of caspases.

Characterization of the immunodominant cross-reacting epitope of visna maedi virus and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus capsid antigen.

Virus Research, 1999
Maedi visna (MV) and caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) are two retroviral infections distributed world wide. Antigenic cross reactions between the viruses have been demonstrated in gag and env encoded structural proteins. Antigens from ovine lentiviruses are easier to produce in cell culture systems and therefore have been used in the development of

Visna-maedi virus induces interleukin-8 in sheep alveolar macrophages through a tyrosine-kinase signaling pathway.

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 1998
The mechanisms leading to the severe lung damage seen in some sheep naturally infected with the visna-maedi virus, and to pulmonary lesions in other lentiviral diseases, appear to involve the recruitment of large numbers of uninfected inflammatory cells.

Presence of a unique parainfluenza virus 3 strain identified by RT-PCR in visna-maedi virus infected sheep.

Veterinary Microbiology, 1997
The presence in farm sheep of a paramyxovirus closely related to parainfluenza virus type 3 (Pi3) from humans or cattle was confirmed using RT-PCR on RNA samples from lung cells from slaughtered animals. Sequencing and restriction enzyme patterns of the amplified fragment of the F gene confirms the distinctness of the isolate, and suitable PCR primers ...

Early events in the experimental interstitial lung disease induced in sheep by the Visna-maedi virus.

Immunology Letters, 1993
Visna-maedi virus is a lentivirus closely related to the human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-I). During spontaneous infection of sheep by Visna-maedi virus an interstitial lung disease is observed. It is characterized by an alveolitis, peribronchovascular lymphoid nodules, alveolar wall thickening and myomatosis. In order to decipher the pathology

Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Visna/Maedi virus in semi-intensive lamb-producing flocks in northwestern Spain.

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2012
A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine Visna/Maedi virus (VMV) seroprevalence and risk factors in semi-intensive lamb-producing flocks as a prelude to establishing a monitoring program in northwestern (NW) Spain. A total of 15,155 serum samples were taken from 78 commercial flocks and were submitted to an indirect VMV ELISA.

Isolation of visna-maedi virus from the choroid plexus of an apparently healthy sheep in Italy

Veterinary Research Communications, 1985
In this paper, the presence of visna-maedi in Italy, reported to exist since 1982 on clinical grounds, and the presence of anti-visna-maedi antibody is confirmed by the isolation of the viral agent from choroid plexus cells of an apparently healthy sheep.

Alveolar macrophages from sheep naturally infected by visna-maedi virus contribute to IL-8 production in the lung.

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1997
Sheep naturally infected by visna-maedi virus often develop a chronic interstitial lung disease characterized by an alveolitis comprising lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages. The alpha chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) was detected in cell free bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from naturally infected animals, confirmed by RT-PCR, presenting typical ...

La pathogenese du virus Visna-Maedi : modèle expérimental pour l'étude des Lentivirinae

Médecine et Maladies Infectieuses, 1987
Resume La pathogenese des Lentivirinae est liee a l'ambiguite pathologique des maladies progressives, lentes, causees par des Retrovirus non oncogenes. Le tropisme de ces virus pour certaines cellules, macrophages pour le Visna-Maedi, CAEV et AIEV, lymphocytes pour le HIV, est du a la presence de recepteurs cellulaires. La maturation ou stimulation
