Visualizing bovine leukemia virus (BLV)-infected cells and measuring BLV proviral loads in the milk of BLV seropositive dams [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2019 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.

BLV: lessons on vaccine development [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2019 Abstract Vaccination against retroviruses is a challenge because of their ability to stably integrate into the host genome, undergo long-term latency in a proportion of infected cells and thereby escape immune response. Since clearance of the virus is almost impossible once infection is established, the primary goal is to achieve ...

BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR: comparison of other detection methods for BLV infection and kinetics analysis in experimental transmission of BLV in cattle [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2011 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

Effect of bovine leukemia virus infection and proviral load on the systemic profile of dairy heifers during the transition period [PDF]
Ciência Rural: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) on the systemic profile of naturally infected dairy heifers during the transition period. Pregnant Holstein and Jersey heifers (n=24) were distributed in pairs into two experimental

In vivo characterization of the BLV miRNA cluster [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2015 Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a B-lymphotropic oncogenic retrovirus sharing common biological and structural features with the human T-cell leukemia virus I and II (HTLV-I and II), is the etiologic agent of enzootic bovine leucosis. One major feature of the BLV infection is the absence of viremia.
