CAE may have been introduced into Taiwan in the early 80s through the importation of goats from the United States. The goat industry in Taiwan has long been troubled by CAE. Additionally, a preliminary CAE serological survey conducted in 2008 indicates that a high percentage of goats (58%-100%) in a majority of dairy and meat goat herds may have been infected with CAE. An effective control strategy relies testing the herds on a regular basis (every 6 months), and segregating or culling serologically positive goats. Management measures to prevent transmission of CAE from the dams to the perinatal kids through consumption of contaminated colostrum and milk are also important. Therefore, we proposed this project in order to understand the prevalence of CAE infection among the goat industry in Taiwan, to develop up-to-date diagnostic techniques, and to draft a CAE control strategic plan, which can be an important reference for the policy makers at the Bureau.山羊關節炎腦炎流行現況防治Caprine Arthritis-EncephalitisPrevalenceControl
