  • Title: [Detection of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus in sperm of experimentally infected bucks].
    Author: Travassos C, Benoît C, Valas S, da Silva A, Perrin G.
    Journal: Vet Res; 1998; 29(6):579-84. PubMed ID: 9851015.
    Abstract:
    Shedding of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) was assessed in semen and blood mononuclear cells of six bucks (four boers and two saanens) experimentally contaminated with a viral strain (CAEV Cork) and on three non-infected controls. CAEV was identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in blood mononuclear cells of all infected animals but only in seminal fluid and non-spermatic cells of one buck and in non-spermatic cells of another. Presence of CAEV in semen could have implications in the dissemination and control of the disease.
