Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are a group of viruses that infect and transmit among ovine and caprine species. These inflict progressive and longstanding infections, the majority as asymptomatic or developing late onset clinical signs. The diagnosis is made up with laboratorial methods and given its importance ELISA tests are essential. Nowadays, in Portugal, there is few information about SRLV infection. The main purpose of this research was quantifying the seroprevalence of SRLV in Portugal.
