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

Study of compartmentalization in the visna clinical form of small ruminant lentivirus infection in sheep [PDF]
, 2012 Background A central nervous system (CNS) disease outbreak caused by small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) has triggered interest in Spain due to the rapid onset of clinical signs and relevant production losses.

, 2003 A number of viruses can initiate central nervous system (CNS) diseases that include demyelination as a major feature of neuropathology. In humans, the most prominent demyelinating diseases are progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, caused by JC ...

Visna Virus Meningoencephalomyelitis in Goats [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1981 A progressive paresis was encountered in herds of Swedish goats. The symptoms developed during a period of weeks or months, and were initially often seen as a weakness of the hind limbs before the animals became paralytic. The development and the histopathological lesions of the disease in the GNS and the lungs were similar to those of visna in sheep ...

Experimental Visna in Icelandic Lambs [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1977 Icelandic lambs were inoculated intracerebrally with visna virus at 10 days of age and sacrificed 22–25 days after infection. Virus was isolated from all 5 inoculated animals, and pronounced periventricular lesions, typical of early visna, were seen in the 3 lambs with the most widespread infection.

Vaccination delays maedi-visna lentivirus infection in a naturally-infected sheep flock
BMC Veterinary Research, 2013 Background The Maedi-Visna (MV) lentivirus causes two slowly progressive eventually fatal diseases of sheep, Maedi, a progressive interstitial pneumonia, and Visna, a progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system.
