The nervous form of Maedi-Visna (MV) infection was diagnosed in four lambs aged 4 and 6 months, belonging to three different Assaf flocks that were managed intensively for milk and meat production. The animals presented with hindleg ataxia that rapidly progressed to complete recumbency. Lesions consisted of a moderate to severe non-purulent encephalitis affecting mainly the cerebellar peduncles. MV virus was demonstrated in the damaged tissues by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction. The investigation demonstrated that the clinical presentation of the nervous form of MV which is reported to occur in adult sheep can also be observed in young animals.
