tmem154-35k marker can predicts maedi-visna resistance
Includes bibliographic reference
Ovine lentivirus (OvLV) belongs to the family Retroviridae and causes maedi-visna (MV) in sheep. The virus is widespread in sheep populations around the world. No European country except Iceland can be considered to be free of OvLV infection (Peterhans et al., 2004). This disease is also substantially prevalent among sheep flocks in Germany (Hüttner et al., 2010). There is no cure for the chronic disease caused by OvLV, which includes symptoms such as pneumonia, wasting, mastitis, arthritis and progressive paralysis (Leroux et al., 2010). A vaccine preventing OvLV infection has not been developed yet (Blacklaws, 2012). Production losses stem from lamb mortality (Arsenault et al. 2003), lower lamb weights and milk production from older infected ewes (Keen et al. 1997, Arsenault et al,. 2003), early culling (Peterhans et al., 2004) and export restrictions (Reina et al., 2009).
