Gene Expression in Bovine Leukemia Virus-Infected B Lymphocytes
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a type C, chronic transforming retrovirus that infects B-lymphocytes and is associated with a long latency period. We studied the transcriptional activation of BLV in primary cells and also examined whether a measurable increase in BLV expression would effect the …

Molecular investigation of bovine leukemia virus in selected wildlife in Zambia.
Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) is a member of the genus Deltaretroviruses of the family Retroviridae and causes Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL). The most common manifestation of EBL is persistent lymphocytosis, which is characterized by lymphocyte count above 7500/µL of blood, with about 5-10% of cases …

Bovine leukemia virus infection in cattle: Viral distribution and immunogenetic associations with disease progression
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was studied in naturally-infected cattle to clarify the cellular tropism of the virus at different stages of disease and obtain further evidence of a genetic basis for the development of BLV-associated disease. Flow cytometry was used to separate phenotypically defined …

Polymorphism of bovine MHC class II genes: Association with persistent lymphocytosis caused by bovine leukemia virus
Polymorphism of bovine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II DQA, DQB, and DRB genes was investigated by sequence comparisons between class II genes of cattle and other species. The association between BoLA-DRB3 alleles and persistent lymphocytosis (PL) caused by bovine leukemia virus …

Prevalence of antibodies to Bovine Leukemia virus, Neospora caninum and risk factors, and biosecurity practices in beef cow-calf herds in Canada.
… of infection. A herd was considered positive for Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) if ≥ 1 animal tested positive. Estimates of cow-level seroprevalence was 1.01% (95% CI= 0.73% – 1.29%) while herd seroprevalence was 12.4% (95% CI= 7.57 – 17.23). Potential risk factors examined for BLV transmission …

BoLA Class II Genes: Polymorphism, Disease Association and Linkage Relationships With the Prolactin and Bola-A Genes
… to persistent lymphocytosis (PL) caused by the bovine leukemia virus is more closely associated with class II genes of the BoLA complex than with BoLA-A. Polymorphisms of BoLA-DQB and -DRB2 genes were identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. All carriers of …

Virus de la leucosis bovina (VLB) y evidencias de su potencial zoonótico
El Virus de la Leucosis Bovina (VLB) es un retrovirus con capacidad oncogénica que se caracteriza por ocasionar infecciones persistentes en el ganado vacuno, lo que conlleva a procesos crónicos de linfocitosis y en los casos más avanzados puede generar leucemias o linfomas en los animales. En las …
