Abstract:

Purpose: Small ruminant lentivirus infection has a chronic and untreatable character that can simultaneously and immunopathogenically affect a series of main target organs that pathologically and clinically cause mastitis, maedi, visna and arthritis in the sheep and goats. The aim of this study is to detect the histopathological and immunohistochemically infected goats’ injuries and cellular distribution in different tissues. In the study, a total of 6 goats known to be seropositive, as well as 1 abortion foetus were used. Histopathological findings and immunohistochemically, cellular distortions were detected. Results: Histopathologically, bronchopneumonia and chronic intersitutional pneumonia, enteritis, hydropic degeneration and necrosis in the proximal and distal tubulus epithels in the kidneys, hyaline drops and hyaline cylinders, wave conjection and reduction in lymphoidal cells, conjection in the heart, hyaline degeneration and necrosis, hydropic degeneration in the liver, necrosis and hepatitis were observed. Immunohistochemically in the lungs bronchial and bronchial epithels, alveol macrophages and lymphocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages in the waves, crypt and villus epithels in the intestines, lymphocytes and macrophages, and in the liver, and in the Copper cells and lymphocytes, positive paintings were observed. On the contrary, no positive reaction was observed in the kidneys and heart. Recommendation: As a result, the data obtained from the small ruminant lentivirus infection, which has an important place in the cattle cultivation, and these data are believed to be important in new studies and combat programs that can be developed.
