Simple Summary Maedi-visna is a globally distributed, viral, and incurable chronic disease
of small ruminants, challenging the health and welfare of sheep and jeopardizing the …

Early and accurate diagnosis is fundamental for successful surveillance and control of
maedi-visna virus (MVV). MVV was detected in Norway in 2019, almost 14 years after the …

Xenotransplantation, like allotransplantation, is usually associated with microchimerism, ie,
the presence of cells from the donor in the recipient. Microchimerism was reported in first …

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are a group of highly divergent viruses responsible for
global infection in sheep and goats. In a previous study we showed that SRLV strains found …

Maedi-visna virus (MVV) and caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) are members of a
group of genetically highly homologous lentiviruses collectively referred to as small ruminant …

Simple Summary The characterization of small ruminant lentiviruses in autochthonous goat
and sheep populations, like the Moroccan one, represents an excellent source of …

Materials and Methods: Two recombinant proteins from the SRLV (p16 and gp38), the native
hapten of Brucella melitensis, and the paratuberculosis-protoplasmic antigen 3 from …

Detection of visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection is challenging, as no perfect reference test
exists. Several factors can lead to false positive or negative results, including slow …

The high genetic heterogeneity of small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) renders the genetic
characterization of the circulating strains crucial for the epidemiological investigation and the …

Despite small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are widespread causing severe clinical
manifestations, their effects on milk production in dairy sheep remain controversial. This …
