Caprine arthritis encephalitis (CAE) is a viral disease of goats caused by a lentivirus called caprine arthritis encephalitis virus. The disease is found worldwide. Two syndromes of CAE occur. Adult goats develop a chronic progressive arthritis, whereas young goats develop a neurological syndrome, with signs of paresis or paralysis.
Genus: Lentivirus. Species: Caprine arthritis encephalitis virus. Caprine arthritis encephalitis virus ( CAEV) is a retrovirus which infects goats and cross-reacts immunologically with HIV, [ 1] due to being from the same family of viruses. [medical citation needed] CAEV cannot be transmitted to humans, including through the consumption of milk ...
H&E stain; scale bar = 50 µm. Louping-ill ( / ˈlaʊpɪŋɪl /) is an acute viral disease primarily of sheep that is characterized by a biphasic fever, depression, ataxia, muscular incoordination, tremors, posterior paralysis, coma, and death. Louping-ill is a tick -transmitted disease whose occurrence is closely related to the distribution of ...
Visna virus. Synonyms. Maedi virus. Visna-maedi virus (also known as Visna virus, Maedi-visna virus and Ovine lentivirus[ 1]) from the genus Lentivirus and subfamily Orthoretrovirinae, is a retrovirus that causes encephalitis and chronic pneumonitis in sheep. [ 2][ 3][ 4] It is known as visna when found in the brain, and maedi when infecting ...
B. melitensis is the most virulent and invasive species; it usually infects goats and occasionally sheep. B. suis is of intermediate virulence and chiefly infects pigs. Symptoms include profuse sweating and joint and muscle pain. Brucellosis has been recognized in animals and humans since the early 20th century. [7] [8]
Along with pigs, sheep and goats are among the most commonly infected livestock of epidemiological significance for human infection. [122] Prevalence of viable T. gondii in sheep tissue has been measured (via bioassay) to be as high as 78% in the United States, [ 126 ] and a 2011 survey of goats intended for consumption in the United States ...

Domestic animals like sheep, goats and cattle can develop high titers of virus in their blood, but tend not to fall ill. [12] The "sporadic infection" of humans is usually caused by a Hyalomma tick bite. Animals can transmit the virus to humans, but this would usually be as part of a disease cluster.
