This disease corresponds to two clinical entities caused by the same virus. Maedi is a form that results in a chronic progressive pneumonia.
Tumors form in nose and are contagious. ENTV targets the respiratory system in ovine, specifically the upper-airway epithelial cells. [6] Oncogenesis occurs in the nasal turbinate cells [8] A typical oncogenic virus will cause a mutation in a host cell, causing the transformation of host cells from a protooncogene into an oncogene.
