Association of Ovar‐DRB1 alleles with innate immune responses in sheep
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 752-757, March 2022., 2022 Results of this study provided additional support for the association between Ovar‐DRB1 alleles and regulation of immune responses in sheep population. Description of MHC polymorphism and its role in the controlling of immune responses will increase our understanding of host‐pathogen interactions, and ultimately facilitate the selection of disease ...

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 ...

A novel enterovirus in lambs with poliomyelitis and brain stem encephalitis
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 227-234, March 2022., 2022 Abstract An Austrian organic dairy sheep farm experienced cases of recumbency and sudden deaths in 3‐ to 4‐week‐old lambs. Two animals were subjected to thorough clinical and pathological investigations. Pathohistological analysis identified severe nonsuppurative myelitis and mild nonsuppurative encephalitis.

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Small ruminant lentivirus infections in sheep most commonly present with respiratory signs (maedi) and indurative mastitis, while primary neurological signs (visna) have rarely been reported in Great Britain (GB). Most reports of visna describe signs referable to myelitis, although central signs associated with encephalitis may feature.

Pestivirus apparent prevalence in sheep and goats in Northern Ireland: A serological survey
Veterinary Record, Volume 188, Issue 1, January 2021., 2021 Abstract Background: Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) and border disease virus (BDV) can cause significant health problems in ruminants and economic impacts for farmers. The aim of this study was to evaluate pestivirus exposure in Northern Ireland sheep and goat flocks, and to compare findings with a previous study from the region. Methods: Up to 20

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 ...
