Diarrhoea in lambs and kids is often a complex, multi-factorial syndrome. Common infectious causes of diarrhoea in lambs and kids during the first month of life are of bacterial or parasite nature. However, despite appreciable improvements in management practices and prevention and treatment strategies over the last decades, diarrhoea is still a common and costly syndrome affecting newborn small ruminants. Recent advances in the diagnostics and metagenomic investigations of the enteric environment have allowed discovering a number of novel viruses, although their pathobiological properties remain largely unknown. Assessing more in depth the impact of these viruses on the health and productions of these livestock animals is necessary and requires the development of accurate diagnostic tools and updating of the diagnostic algorithms of enteric pathological conditions.

“…The results are important as a template for effecting the control of the disease F. G. DAVIES by restricting movement to endemic areas from NSD-free zones; and to provide some rational basis for the use of a vaccine against NSD, which has been prepared in the laboratory (Davies, Mungai & Shaw 1974).…”

SUMMARYThe distribution of antibody to Nairobi sheep disease in sheep and goats in Kenya was found to coincide closely with that of the tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. The proportions of a population in an enzootic area with antibody was similar in the different age groups. No antibody to the virus was found in rodent sera and while some low titres were found in some wild ruminant sera, these were considered to be most likely cross reactions with antibody to related viruses.

“…4,5 Together with Ganjam virus, which is considered to be a strain of the same virus, NSDV has a distribution that includes central and east Africa as well as South Asia and China. 6,7 At least 50 other nairoviruses have been isolated from ticks or vertebrate hosts and some have been associated with symptoms of disease in humans including fever, headache, and neurological disorders.…”
