The aim ofthe present study is to evaluate (1) the influence of CAEV on in vivo expression of mRNAs for BMP15,
GDF9 and BMPR1B in goat ovarian follicles and (2) to investigate the effect ofEGF, PHA or both on in vitro activation of
primordial follicles and expression of mRNA for TNFa and
its receptors in cultured ovarian cortical tissue of healthy
and infected goats.
