Ovine Progressive Pneumonia (OPP)

Ovine Progressive Pneumonia (OPP) is a slowly progressive viral disease of adult sheep caused by an ovine lentivirus. Most sheep do not show clinical signs of OPP, but the sheep that do typically don’t display signs until 2 years of age or older because of the virus’s long incubation period. Clinical signs include but are not limited to weight loss, unsteady gait, increased breathing effort at rest, arthritis, pain and swelling joints.
