Small ruminant lentiviruses include viruses with diverse genotypes that frequently cross the
species barrier between sheep and goats and that display a great genetic variability. These …

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs), including maedi-visna virus (MVV) of sheep and
caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV), are widespread, cause fatal diseases and are …

Countries rely on good diagnostic tests and appropriate testing schemes to fight against
economically important small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infections. We undertook an …

Zoonotic events of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) from non-human primates to
humans have generated the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), one of the most …

The serologic diagnostic tests, such as the agar gel immunodiffusion assay and various
types of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), have contributed to the reduction …

Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) in goats is a complex disease syndrome caused by a
lentivirus. This persistent viral infection results in arthritis in adult goats and encephalitis in …

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are found in sheep in Germany and Iran. SRLVs have
been classified into four genotypes: A–C and E. Genotype A has been subdivided into 20 …

Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) cause different clinical forms of disease in sheep and
goats. So far in Spain, Maedi visna virus-like (MVV-like) sequences have been found in both …

Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) infections are widespread in Poland, but the genetic
features of sheep viruses are still lacking and limited to partial gag sequences for goat …

Simple Summary Local breeds represent a precious reservoir of genetic diversity, crucial to
adapting to environmental and climate changes and reacting to evolving diseases. In Sicily …
