Another case of sheep-associated malignant catarrhal fever in Rio Grande do Sul: the curious epidemiological niche of ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 in Southern Brazil

Additionally, the traditional sheep production system and rearing practiced within RS seem to favor the development of SA-MCF outbreaks in susceptible cattle populations.
