The aim of this study is to serologically reveal the presence of Maedi-Visna in adult sheep in Erbil province in Iraq, which is an important area of sheep farming and also to investigate the prevalence of Maedi-Visna disease in sheep with chronic respiratory problems. Blood samples were obtained from 100 male and female Awassi sheep between 2 and 8 years old which were suffering from chronic pneumonia. The samples were obtained from the different locations in the city of Erbil and its provinces (Hawler, Dashti Hawler, Maxmur and Xebat) between January and April 2016. Blood samples were analysed for Maedi-Visna by using ELISA method in laboratory. According to the analysis, of 100 samples; positive, suspected and negative results were determined as 65 (65%), 3 (3%) and 32 (32%), respectively.
