Small ruminant lentivirus proviral sequences from wild ibexes in contact with domestic goats.
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are widespread amongst domesticated goats and sheep worldwide, but have not been clearly identified in wild small ruminants, where they might constitute an animal health risk through contamination from local domesticates. SRLV proviruses from three ibexes from the French Alps are described and sequences from their gag gene and long terminal repeats (LTRs) were...
متن کاملSerological Study on Brucella Spp. and Small Ruminant Lentivirus in Dairy Goats in Vojvodina
The objective of this study was to determine seroprevalence of small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV), Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis infections among dairy goats in South Backa and Srem region in Vojvodina Province. The other aim was to determine the risk factors associated with SRLV infection in investigated herds. A total of 971 serum samples were collected from 8 comercial dairy goat he...
متن کاملMutations in Ovis aries TMEM154 are associated with lower small ruminant lentivirus proviral concentration in one sheep flock
Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV), also called ovine progressive pneumonia virus or maedi-visna, is present in 24% of US sheep. Like human immunodeficiency virus, SRLV is a macrophage-tropic lentivirus that causes lifelong infection. The production impacts from SRLV are due to a range of disease symptoms, including pneumonia, arthritis, mastitis, body condition wasting and encephalitis. There is...
متن کاملEvolution of Specific Antibodies and Proviral DNA in Milk of Small Ruminants Infected by Small Ruminant Lentivirus
The diagnosis of Small Ruminant Lentivirus (SRLV) is based on clinical signs, pathological lesions and laboratory testing. No standard reference test for the diagnosis of maedi visna has been validated up to the present, and it is puzzling that tests which detect antibodies against the virus and tests which detect the proviral genome may render opposite results. The aim of this study was to eva...
متن کاملSmall ruminant lentivirus genetic subgroups associate with sheep TMEM154 genotypes
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are prevalent in North American sheep and a major cause of production losses for the U.S. sheep industry. Sheep susceptibility to SRLV infection is influenced by genetic variation within the ovine transmembrane 154 gene (TMEM154). Animals with either of two distinct TMEM154 haplotypes that both encode glutamate at position 35 of the protein (E35) are at great...
