Abstract
Virus particles, morphologically indistinguishable from maedi-visna virus or caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus, were detected in tissue explant cultures prepared post mortem from a goat with joint, lung and kidney lesions similar to those associated with the caprine arthritis-encephalitis complex. Serum from this goat and others in its herd of origin gave positive reactions in an agar gel immunodiffusion test for maedi-visna virus antibodies.Keywords
