  • Title: Small ruminant lentiviruses: immunopathogenesis of visna-maedi and caprine arthritis and encephalitis virus.
    Author: Blacklaws BA.
    Journal: Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis; 2012 May; 35(3):259-69. PubMed ID: 22237012.
    Abstract:
    The small ruminant lentiviruses include the prototype for the genus, visna-maedi virus (VMV) as well as caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV). Infection of sheep or goats with these viruses causes slow, progressive, inflammatory pathology in many tissues, but the most common clinical signs result from pathology in the lung, mammary gland, central nervous system and joints. This review examines replication, immunity to and pathogenesis of these viruses and highlights major differences from and similarities to some of the other lentiviruses.
