Kinetic Study of BLV Infectivity in BLV Susceptible and Resistant Cattle in Japan from 2017 to 2019 [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis. Polymorphism in bovine lymphocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 alleles is related to susceptibility to BLV proviral load (PVL), which is a useful index for estimating disease ...

BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR: comparison of other detection methods for BLV infection and kinetics analysis in experimental transmission of BLV in cattle [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infects cattle worldwide, imposing a severe economic impact on the dairy cattle industry. BLV is the etiological agent of enzootic bovine leukosis. Recently we developed a new quantitative real-time PCR method using Coordination of Common Motifs (CoCoMo) primers to measure the proviral load of known and novel BLV variants in

Visualizing bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-infected cells and measuring BLV proviral loads in the milk of BLV seropositive dams [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infects cattle and causes serious problems for the cattle industry, worldwide. Vertical transmission of BLV occurs via in utero infection and ingestion of infected milk and colostrum.

Importance of continuous monitoring of bovine leukaemia virus infection on farms in bovine leukaemia virus-endemic areas of Japan. [PDF]
Abstract Background Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), caused by the bovine leukaemia virus (BLV), has exhibited increasing infection rates in Japan. While many farms implement various infection prevention measures, practical challenges—such as barn structure and availability of replacement cattle—can hinder farm purification efforts.

Seventy calves born to the cows infected with bovine leukemia virus (BLV) were examined periodically for the maternal antibodies to BLV. Antibodies to BLV were negative in all of 22 except one calves examined at precolostrum stage, but they converted into positive 24hrs postcolostrum. Most of the 70 calves being positive in the antibodies to BLV at the

BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR: a useful tool for evaluating bovine leukemia virus infection status [PDF]
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is associated with enzootic bovine leukosis, which is the most common neoplastic disease of cattle. BLV infects cattle worldwide, imposing a severe economic impact on the dairy cattle industry.

HERACLIS_BLV_D: Increasing Response Rates During 2-Year Bulevirtide Real-Life Therapy in Chronic Hepatitis D. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Data Availability Statement The data of this study can be available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. Background & Aims There is still limited real‐life data for bulevirtide (BLV) therapy in chronic hepatitis D (CHD). We assessed the efficacy and safety of up to 2‐year BLV therapy in CHD patients treated at Greek centres ...

Bovine Leukemia Virus: Origin, Prevalence, Phylogenetic Diversity, Risk Factors, and Strategies for Control [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is classified as a Deltaretrovirus and shows close genomic and biological similarities with human T-cell leukemia viruses (HTLVs). It serves as the etiological agent for enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), which stands as the most

AN EVALUATION OF THE ROLE OF MILK IN THE NATURAL TRANSMISSION OF BLV
In order to evaluate the role of milk in the transmission of BLV, the presence of the virus and viral antibodies was investigated in cattle that were born to, and nursed on, infected dams and then raised in isolation or in contact with infected animals. Only 3 of the 17 isolated cattle became infected during 25-29 months of observation. During the same

Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell Transcriptome of Dairy Cows Naturally Infected with Bovine Leukemia Virus [PDF]
The current literature has identified many abnormalities in the immune expression of cows infected with the bovine leukemia virus (BLV). These studies have focused on individual cell, gene, or protein expression, failing to provide a comprehensive ...
