Description:
A virus was isolated from an adult goat with chronic arthritis and shown to belong to the retrovirus group by electron microscopy and biochemical methods. Inoculation of the virus into cesarean-derived specific-pathogen-free goats' kids produced arthritic lesions similar to those in the spontaneous disease. Vrus was reisolated from the experimentally induced lesions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Crawford, T B -- Adams, D S -- Cheevers, W P -- Cork, L C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Feb 29;207(4434):997-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6153243" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
