visna

a meningoencephalitis of sheep caused by a lentivirus identical with the virus of maedi—hence the commonly used name of maedi-visna. The disease is characterized by a long incubation period, up to 2 years, followed by a prolonged clinical disease in which there is a demyelinating encephalomyelitis resulting in incoordination, tremor and wasting for a period of up to 2 years.
