C. aPrevalence of antibody to caprine arthristis-encephalitis virus in goats in the United States.h[electronic resource] c1992 aAbstract; Goats from 28 states were tested for antibodies to caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus. Of 3,790 goats, 1,175 (31%) tested positive, and of 196 herds tested, 143 (73%) had 1 or more seropositive members. This prevalence, based on serum samples from all goats in the participating herds, was lower than most rates reported in other studies. Such studies were based on fewer samples, incomplete sampling of herds, or smaller geographic base. Prevalence was highest in western Pacific and northern plains regions, increased with age to 3 years, was highest among goats on family-owned farms, and was lowest in the Angora breed. Differences in prevalence was not related to gender or size of herd. aCaprine arthritis encephalitis virus aCaprine arthritis-encephalitis aDisease prevalence aEpidemiology aGoat diseases aGoats aMales aUnited States aViral antibodies aCaprino aDoença aArtrite encefalite1 aLEHMKUHL, H.
