Sero-epidemiological studies of bovine leukaemia virus infection in Indian cross-bred zebu cattle
نویسنده
چکیده
Antibodies against bovine leukaemia virus were detected in 322 of 1,511 serum samples from cattle of various age groups and both sexes, in various herds of the country. A variable degree (5.4 to 75%) of positive reactors was recorded in individual herds where no systematic breeding policy had been followed. Antibodies were also detected in clinically healthy cattle, having normal haematological values which could be classified as healthy according to Bendixen's leukosis key.

Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...
متن کاملThe first study of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and brucellosis co-infection in west-central Iran
Background: BIV is a well-known bovine immunosuppressive cause, but its pathogenesis has not been well characterized. In recent years, it has been hypothesized that infection with BIV might predispose cattle to be infected by other agents. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to investigate of BIV and Brucella co-infection so that in the future more studies will be done on the issue of predispos...
