Rhabdomyosarcoma with posterior paresis and megaesophagus in a Holstein heifer.
A 7-month-old Holstein heifer presented with posterior paresis and megaesophagus.

متن کاملEnzootic Bovine Leukosis
Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) is the etiologic agent of Enzootic Bovine Leukosis, a retrovirus exogenous to the bovine species. Once infected, there is no detectable viraemia but instead there is a strong and persistent immunological response to BLV structural proteins, essentially the gp51 envelope glycoprotein and the mayor core protein p24. We describe the test procedure of an indirect ELISA (...
متن کاملEnzootic Bovine Leukosis
Both EBL and SBL occur in southern Africa and in the Southern African context it will therefore be very important to accurately differentiate between EBL and SBL. The epidemiology, direct and indirect economic impact, diagnosis and most importantly control and eradication of EBL is markedly different to that of SBL. Globally EBL infection may also place severe restrictions on the import and exp...
