Reduced levels of reactive oxygen species correlate with inhibition of apoptosis, rise in thioredoxin expression and increased bovine leukemia virus proviral loads [PDF]
Background Bovine Leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus that induces lymphoproliferation and leukemia in ruminants. In ex vivo cultures of B lymphocytes isolated from BLV-infected sheep show that spontaneous apoptosis is reduced.

Bovine Leukemia Virus DNA in Human Breast Tissue [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), a deltaretrovirus, causes B-cell leukemia/lymphoma in cattle and is prevalent in herds globally. A previous finding of antibodies against BLV in humans led us to examine the possibility of human infection with BLV. We focused

Seroprevalence and Presumed Bovine Leukaemia Virus and Coxiella burnetii Coinfections in Three Dairy Cattle Herds From the Al Ain Region, United Arab Emirates. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) and Coxiella burnetii are important infectious pathogens of dairy cattle with potential implications for animal health, productivity and zoonotic transmission (in the case of C. burnetii). Because BLV may alter immune function, we hypothesize that infection with the virus could increase cattle ...

Stage-Dependent Transcriptional Reprogramming of B-Cell Receptor Signaling and Antigen Presentation During Bovine Leukemia Virus-Driven Lymphomagenesis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), an oncogenic deltaretrovirus, establishes lifelong infection in cattle and induces enzootic bovine leukosis in a subset of animals following prolonged latency. Despite extensive evidence of immune dysregulation, stage‐specific transcriptional reprogramming of B cells, the primary viral reservoir remains ...

Comparison of the Prevalence of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) in Holstein and Angus Cattle Breeds From Shandong Province, China. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is widespread globally and causes economic losses in the cattle industry. Shandong Province plays a significant role in China's livestock industry, with an increasing importance in food of Holstein and Angus cattle. However, BLV prevalence in Holstein and Angus breeds in Shandong Province remains unclear.
