| 英文描述 | CAE is caused by a retrovirus classified as a lentivirus. The nervous form usually affects kids about 2-4 months of age, but has been seen in goats up to 20 years of age. The arthritic form of the disease affects adults, and is characterized by progressive arthritis. A respiratory component of this disease resembling ovine progressive pneumonia has been seen in adult dairy goats with serologic evidence of CAEV infection. A firm and swollen udder with agalactia and normal milk quality, 'hard udder', can be part of the CAE syndrome. Dx by histology and viral isolation; isolation is difficult. Examination for antibodies by serologic methods can be used for diagnosis and surveys of populations, but delayed seroconversion can occur and many infected goats never develop clinical signs. |
