Slow virus diseases of the sheep in Greece. II. Laboratory diagnosis of Progressive Pneumonia ( Maedi)
Abstract
Pulmonary Adenomatosis (Jaagsiekte) and Progressive Pneumonia (Maedi) of the sheep were reported in Greece in 1952 the first and in 1967 the second. Clinical cases have been recognized in sheep flocks in various parts of the country ever since. Their study was based on the clinical, anatomopathological and histopathological findings. The laboratory diagnosis for Maedi was recently introduced using the agar gel immunodiffusion test, in petri dishes, according the cutlip's method. Two templates cutting wells of different capacity were used: 60μ! the first and 30μ1 the second. Beside the less quantity of reagents required, precipitation lines appeared twenty four hours earlier than with the first template however, more experience is needed before final conclusions could be drown
