This survey was conducted to investigate the infection of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV). From April to October 2007, we examined a total of 173 goats in 7 dairy goat-breeding farms located in Na-ju, Hae-nam, Young-am, and Young-gwang area of Jeonnam province. The results show that 41 (23.7%) goats are positive for CAEV, confirmed by nested PCR of 173 blood samples. Regional analysis revealed that a positive proportion for CAEV was 50.0% in Young-gwang, 25.6% in Young-am, 25.0% in Hae-nam, and 10.9% in Na-ju. Clinical signs were observed in 17 (9.8%) goats, of which 6 suffered from arthritis, 7 from mastitis, and 4 from pneumonia. Among the examined 173 goats, 8(4.6%) goats are positive for CAEV accompanied with CAE symptoms. There was a tendency to be much higher(p<0.05) levels of natrium(Na), chlorine(Cl) in CAEV-positive than in CAEV-negative goats. However, other serum biochemical values were no statistically significant effect.
