“…In Romania, both serological tests, AGID and ELISA are used as confirmatory methods by accredited laboratories [ 23 ]. Concisely, the following practices are recommended to be applied in SRLVs infected goat herds: (a) Permanent isolation of kids immediately after birth; (b) feeding of heat-treated colostrum (45°C for 60 min); (c) serological examination of the herd (twice per year) and maintaining the seronegative and seropositive goats separately; and (4) culling of seropositive goats [ 8 , 40 ].…”

“…The animals were brought from different countries such as France or even New Zeeland, which are not free of SRLVs infection [ 19 ]. By comparison, looking at a Polish herd where the prevalence has increased from 15% to 75%, after the importation of dairy goats from France during the 1990s [ 6 , 8 ], we can presume the importation of goats to Romania as one of the causes of the latter increase in CAE prevalence. The virus is hardly found in native breeds unless they were exposed or had direct contact with imported goats [ 24 ].…”

“…CAE virus (CAEV) and Maedi-Visna virus (MVV), both belonging to the genus Lentivirus , are grouped in small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) due to their genomic and antigenic similarities [ 5 ]. SRLVs transmission mainly occurs by the ingestion of virus-containing colostrum/milk by the kids, but direct contact with the infected animals (horizontal transmission) should also be considered [ 6 - 8 ]. The disease is characterized by a long incubation period and persistent infection.…”

The epidemiological background of small ruminant lentivirus infection in goats from Romania

Background and Aim: Caprine arthritis-encephalitis (CAE) is an economically significant viral disease of goats caused by a small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) belonging to Retroviridae family. This study aimed to summarize current information on the epidemiological status of SRLVs infection in the population of goats from Romania and to point out the CAE incidence throughout the 2008-2018 periods. Materials and Methods: An exhaustive review of the papers published in the international literature concerning the epidemiological status of CAE in Romania was carried out using electronic databases, and available statistical data from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) regarding the incidence of the disease between 2008 and 2018 were analyzed. Results: The true individual-level seroprevalence of CAE was estimated in 13 of 42 counties (31%) and ranged from 0.4% to roughly 40%. One hundred eighty-two outbreaks from 14 counties (33%) were reported, with a peak in 2010. Conclusion: The findings sourcing in the literature are very scarce and show disagreement with the situation reported by the national veterinary authorities. Lack of SRLVs screening policies represents the main obstacle in limiting the spread of the disease. Romania's National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Safety Authority should implement a program for diagnosis and surveillance of the disease to build a straightforward epidemiological picture that represents a prerequisite of any control and eradication program.
