Abstract
Maedi visna virus infection is a chronic infectious disease of sheep that cannot be treated nor can it be prevented by vaccination. The main routes of transmission are through ingestion of infected colostrum and through nose to nose contact with infected stock. The virus can be introduced to a flock through the purchase of a single infected animal. Maedi visna infection has the potential to cause major production losses and once a flock is heavily infected it is difficult to control and eradicate. This article provides an overview of the disease and offers practical advice on diagnosis and control.
