| seroprevalence, clinical incidence, and molecular and epidemiological characterisation of small ruminant lentivirus in the indigenous passirian goat in northern italy. | eight dairy flocks, comprising a total of 323 indigenous passirian goats from northern italy, were examined to determine the seroprevalence and clinical incidence of small ruminant lentivirus (srlv) infections and to identify the srlv subtypes. the seroprevalence was 81.5% (55-95%). the clinical incidence was 2.5% (0-8.3%) and was apparently low due to the practice of culling clinically affected animals. phylogenetic analysis of eight pcr fragments (one sample from each flock) revealed that all ... | 2008 | 18584116 |
