Dynamics of perinatal bovine leukemia virus infection
BACKGROUND Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is highly endemic in many countries, including Argentina. As prevention of the spread from infected animals is of primary importance in breaking the cycle of BLV transmission, it is important to know the pathophysiology of BLV infection in young animals, as they are the main source of animal movement. In this work, we determined the proviral load and antib...

متن کاملBovine immunodeficiency virus and bovine leukemia virus and their mixed infection in Iranian Holstein cattle.
INTRODUCTION Bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) have worldwide distributions, but their prevalences in Iran are unknown. We investigated the presence of infections in Iranian Holstein cattle and determined changes in hematological values for infected animals. METHODOLOGY Nested PCR was used on blood samples from 143 animals Holstein cattle to detect proviral B...
