Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV = maedi-visna in sheep and caprine arthritis
encephalitis in goats) are distributed throughout most countries of the world, particularly Europe.
Laboratories from 16 European countries established collaborations within the framework of a
COST (CO-operation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research) action sponsored by the
European Union in order to (i) better organize their research programmes on SRLVs and (ii) to
coordinate efforts to combat these two diseases. After five years, a consensus conference – the first
one in the veterinary medicine field – concluded the work of this network of laboratories by
reviewing the present position and discussing three important questions in the field of SRLVs:
routes of transmission, consequences of infection and potential role of eradication programmes at
either a European or local level, according to the situation in each country or region. This paper
brings together existing information regarding these questions and identifies areas for future
research. [--]
