Serological and genomic detection of bovine leukemia virus in human and cattle samples
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus responsible for lymphoproliferative disorders in cattle. Although infections of BLV in animals are well known, little is known about its capacity to infect humans. This study investigated the presence of anti-BLV antibodies and BLV proviruses in human and cattle samples. An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti-BL...

متن کاملNewly discovered hepatitis C virus minicores circulate in human blood
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most prevalent causes of chronic blood-borne infections worldwide. Despite developments of highly effective treatments, most infected individuals are unaware of their infection. Approximately 75% of infections are in low- and middle-income countries; therefore, continuing research in HCV molecular virology and the development of vaccines and affordable diag...
متن کاملBovine leukemia virus p24 antibodies reflect blood proviral load
BACKGROUND Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is worldwide distributed and highly endemic in Argentina. Among the strategies to prevent BLV dissemination, a control plan based on the selective segregation of animals according to their proviral load (PVL) is promising for our dairy productive system. The objective of this work was to study the relationship between the blood PVL and the antibody level, ...
متن کاملBovine Leukemia Virus Gene Segment Detected in Human Breast Tissue
Background: Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) is known by infections in bovine cattle and produce, in 30% of infected animals, persistent lymphocytosis significantly impacts the beef industry. It has been proposed that this virus could be transmitted to humans and be present in cases of breast cancer. Aim: to determine the presence of 380 bp of gag gene segment of BLV in paraffin-embedded breast tiss...
