Davies, P., Jones, S., Dunham, S., & Tarlinton, R. E. (2023). Associations between small ruminant lentivirus infection and total milk yield and somatic cell count in a dairy sheep flock. Veterinary Record, 192(11), Article e2731. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.2731

Background
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) are lentiviruses of sheep and goats, formerly known as maedi–visna (MV) in sheep and caprine encephalitis and arthritis in goats. In sheep, SRLVs commonly cause progressive pneumonia, wasting and indura...
