Summary: [Infection of lambs by caprine lentivirus]. Abstract: In order to evaluate the transmission of lentivirus of goats to sheep, this study was conducted using three experimental groups. The first (G1) was formed by lambs that received colostrum from goats positive for small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) in the first 24 hours of life. The second (G2) was the control group, consisting of lambs that suckled colostrum and milk from negative mothers. Third group (G3) was established from lambs receiving milk from positive goats for SRLV. The animals were monitored by nested PCR, using leukocytes extracted from peripheral blood. Positive results were observed in lambs of G1 and G3. Therefore, considering the detection of proviral DNA in lambs, the potential of cross-transmission should be considered, especially for the development of health programs for small ruminants.
