Clinical and Clinicopathological Findings on Bovine Leukosis

Bovine leukaemia virus and enzootic bovine leukosis.

Infection of bovines with bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) manifests itself in either of two ways: 30-70% of carriers develop persistent lymphocytosis (PL), with the viral genome integrated at a large number of different sites in the DNA of the affected B-lymphocytes, without causing any chromosomal abnormalities. Only 0,1-10% of carriers develop lymphoid tumours, which also consist of B-lymphocyte...

Enzootic 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 (...

Enzootic 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...

an abattoir survey on prevalence of enzootic bovine leukosis virus infection and associated clinical, haematological and flow cytometric findings in holestein cattle in tehran

bovine leukosis virus (blv) is a retrovirus that primarily affects lymphoid tissue of cattle. to determine the seroprevalence of enzootic bovine leukosis virus infection and its effects on some clinical, hematological and flow cytometric indications, this study was conducted on 197 holstein cattle slaughtered in an abattoir in tehran province. elisa gp51 test of the obtained serums of the anima...
