Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection Affects Host Gene Expression Associated with DNA Mismatch Repair

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leukosis, a malignant form of B-cell lymphoma, and is closely related to human T-cell leukemia viruses. We investigated whether BLV infection affects host genes associated with DNA mismatch repair (MMR).

Circulating Cell‐Free DNA of Bovine Leukemia Virus: A Promising Biomarker for Enzootic Bovine Leukosis

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, Volume 69, Issue 9, Page 466-476, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) in approximately 1%–5% of infected cattle after a long latent period. Few biomarkers effectively distinguish non‐EBL from EBL cattle. Given the rapid turnover of tumor cells, we hypothesized that cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) in plasma could serve as a more effective biomarker for EBL ...

Mechanisms of pathogenesis induced by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) as a model for human T-cell leukemia virus (HTLV)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) make up a unique retrovirus family. Both viruses induce chronic lymphoproliferative diseases with BLV affecting the B-cell lineage and HTLV-1 affecting the T-cell lineage.

Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection in Neonatal Calves. Risk Factors and Control Measures

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL). Although efficient eradication programs have been successfully implemented in most European countries and Oceania, BLV infection rates are still high worldwide.

Control of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Three US Dairy Herds by Culling ELISA-Positive Cows

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, 2019
The objective of this trial was to evaluate a test-and-cull approach to controlling bovine leukemia virus (BLV) in US dairy herds with a low BLV prevalence.

Earlier onset of delta-retrovirus-induced leukemia after splenectomy.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Infection by delta-retroviruses such as human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is mostly asymptomatic. Indeed, only a minority (

The transmission of bovine leukemia virus to calves occurs mostly through colostrum and milk [PDF]

open access: yesVeterinary World
Background and Aim: Enzootic bovine leukemia is highly prevalent in most dairy farms, and strategies to reduce both vertical and horizontal transmission are being investigated.

Engineered soluble truncated envelope proteins block bovine leukemia virus infection

open access: yesVirus Research
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a member of the delta retrovirus family, is transmitted horizontally among cows. BLV causes enzootic bovine leukosis and has great economic impact on the cattle industry.

Bovine Leukemia Virus: Origin, Prevalence, Phylogenetic Diversity, Risk Factors, and Strategies for Control

open access: yesAnimals
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
