Animal virus infections that defy vaccination: equine infectious anemia, caprine arthritis-encephalitis, maedi-visna, and feline infectious peritonitis.

Abstract: Lentiviruses are associated with persistent infection and chronic disease in three major species of livestock—horses, sheep, and goats. Another lentivirus named bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) recently has been described (Gonda et al., 1987). It is a Visna-like virus that was originally isolated over a decade ago from cattle with persistent lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy, weakness, emaciation, and central nervous system (CNS) lesions (Van der Maaten et al, 1972). There is very little information on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, or importance of bovine lentivirus infections, so this section will concern itself mainly with the better characterized lentiviruses of horses, sheep, and goats. A phylogenetic tree showing the possible evolutionary relationship of various animal lentiviruses and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) of man to each other and to types C and D retroviruses has been recently constructed (Gonda et al., 1987) (Fig. 1). Just how far back in history that the various retroviruses diverged from each other has not been determined.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

This research discusses the persistent infections and chronic diseases in livestock such as horses, sheep, and goats, caused by lentiviruses, specialising on equine infectious anemia, caprine arthritis-encephalitis, maedi-visna, and feline infectious peritonitis. The paper also highlights the existence of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV), a Visna-like virus, but states the lack of adequate information on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, or importance of bovine lentivirus infections.

Lentiviruses in Livestock

  • The research begins by highlighting the significant impact lentiviruses have on livestock, particularly horses, sheep, and goats, which suffer from persistent infections and chronic diseases.
  • Lentiviruses belong to a family of viruses known for causing long-lasting infections. Diseases such as equine infectious anemia, caprine arthritis-encephalitis, maedi-visna, and feline infectious peritonitis, all discussed in the research, stem from varying strains of these viruses.

Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus (BIV)

  • The research introduces the Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus (BIV), a Visna-like virus classified under lentiviruses as well.
  • This virus was first identified over a decade ago in cattle exhibiting a range of symptoms such as persistent lymphocytosis, lymphadenopathy, weakness, emaciation, and central nervous system (CNS) lesions.
  • However, the research points that there isn’t enough information on the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, or importance of bovine lentivirus infections.

Phylogenetic Relationship

  • The paper mentions a phylogenetic tree that was constructed to depict the possible evolutionary relationship of various animal lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and types C and D retroviruses.
  • Articulating the exact divergence point in history for these various retroviruses is still a challenge according to the paper.
