As shown in Figures 1A,B, swelling of the carpal joints, stiffness, difficulty moving and standing, distortion of the leg, and cachexia were common in most goats suspected of being infected. Perhaps because of nervous system signs, nervous system symptoms such as lameness, body paralysis, tremor, and torticollis were found (Figures 1A,B).
