Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) DNA sequences were detected in different tissues, in addition to epithelium. Cytogenetic abnormalities were observed in blood lymphocytes. The presence of more than one virus in a single tissue ...

Bovine leukosis (lymphosarcoma, leukemia, or lymphoma) is one of the most frequent neoplastic diseases of cattle. Two types of bovine leukosis are recognized on the basis of their epidemiology: enzootic bovine leukosis and ...

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in cattle causes Enzootic Bovine Leukemia (EBL). About 30% of infected cattle develop persistent lymphocytosis (PL), a 0.1–5% develops tumors, and a 70% remains asymptomatic in an ...

In a perspective of a comparative virology approach, characterization of the bovine leukemia virus (BLV) model may be helpful to better understand infection by the related human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). In ...

We explored the relationship between the level of bovine leukemia virus antibodies and provirus load during natural infection. For that purpose, a set of 50 blood and milk paired samples were analyzed for the presence of ...

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) and human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) are closely related d-retroviruses that induce hematological diseases. HTLV-1 infects about 15 million people worldwide, mainly in subtropical ...

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a δ-retrovirus responsible for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis (EBL), a lymphoproliferative disease that affects cattle. The virus causes immune system deregulation, favoring the development of ...
