Genetic testing for TMEM154 mutations associated with lentivirus susceptibility in sheep.

Genetic testing for TMEM154 mutations associated with lentivirus susceptibility in sheep.

In sheep, small ruminant lentiviruses cause an incurable, progressive, lymphoproliferative disease that affects millions of animals worldwide. Known as ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) in the U.S., and Visna/Maedi virus (VMV) elsewhere, these viruses reduce an animal's health, productiv...
