Evidence of bovine leukemia virus circulating in sheep and buffaloes in Colombia: insights into multispecies infection

Archives of Virology, 2021
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of leukemia/lymphoma in cattle. However, previous evidence has shown its presence in other species of livestock as well as in humans, suggesting that other species can be accidental hosts of the virus ...

Relationship between Allelic Heterozygosity in BoLA-DRB3 and Proviral Loads in Bovine Leukemia Virus-Infected Cattle

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) caused a severe cattle neoplastic disease called enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL). EBL causes significant economic losses in farming by reducing milk production, reproductive performance, and fertility, and ...

Risk factor for breast cancer development under exposure to bovine leukemia virus in Colombian women: A case-control study

PLoS ONE, 2021
Viruses have been implicated in cancer development in both humans and animals. The role of viruses in cancer is typically to initiate cellular transformation through cellular DNA damage, although specific mechanisms remain unknown.

Risk Assessment of Bovine Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II DRB3 Alleles for Perinatal Transmission of Bovine Leukemia Virus

Pathogens, 2021
Perinatal transmission plays a critical role in the spread of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in cattle herds. In the Holstein breed, we previously identified BLV resistant and susceptible bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 alleles, including ...

BoLA-DRB3 Polymorphism is Associated with Differential Susceptibility to Bovine Leukemia Virus-Induced Lymphoma and Proviral Load

Viruses, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leucosis. However, less than 5% of BLV-infected cattle will develop lymphoma, suggesting that, in addition to viral infection, host genetic polymorphisms might play a role in disease ...

Vaccination against δ-Retroviruses: The Bovine Leukemia Virus Paradigm

Viruses, 2014
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 areas.

Development of approaches to the diagnosis of cattle leukemia in the system of antiepizootic measures in the Belgorod Region

BIO Web of Conferences, 2021
The aim of the research is the use of serological and molecular genetic methods for detecting virus-infected cattle leukemia, as well as determining the significance of PCR in identifying BLV infected calves in the system of antiepizootic health measures.

Mechanisms of leukemogenesis induced by bovine leukemia virus: prospects for novel anti-retroviral therapies in human

Retrovirology, 2007
In 1871, the observation of yellowish nodules in the enlarged spleen of a cow was considered to be the first reported case of bovine leukemia. The etiological agent of this lymphoproliferative disease, bovine leukemia virus (BLV), belongs to the ...

Structural characteristics of the bovine leukemia virus genome: A mini review

Пищевые системы, 2023
Enzootic bovine leukemia is an infectious disease with a chronic course caused by an RNA‑containing virus of the genus Deltaretrovirus. Despite the implementation of various programs for the elimination of leukemia, the disease is still widespread on the
