Summary: The caprine arthritis encephalitis is an important viral and most important infectious disease in dairy goats. The infection causes several economic losses. The high prevalence CAEV infection in countries that export goat genetics generated a great concern, since the international trade might introduce the virus in different countries by embryo transfer spreading the disease. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate the risk of caprine arthritis encephalitis virus (CAEV) transmission by in vivo embryos from naturally infected donors. Thus, results of the present study showed no transmission of CAEV by embryos originated from CAEV positive donors by embryos from transcervical method washing treatment.
