Abstract excerpt
Small Ruminant Lentiviruses (SRLVs) are widespread retroviruses of goats and sheep with significant economic and health impacts on small ruminant production systems. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of SRLVs in dairy goat flocks from Brazil. A total of 433 blood samples from eight dairy goat farms were analyzed via PCR targeting the gag gene. The overall SRLV prevalence was...
