Lentiviruses (CAE/Maedi-Visna) - Ab
LABOKLIN Service ID: 2350
CAEV (Caprine Arthritis Encephalitis Virus): Detection serves especially in affected herds to remove positive carrier animals. Positive animals are considered to be infected and potentially shedding (especially when lactating). Negative animals should be checked regularily (at least annually) since recent infection or low antibody titers can mimic a pathogen-free condition.
