New Insights Into Retroviral Gag-Gag and Gag-Membrane Interactions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
A critical aspect of viral replication is the assembly of virus particles, which aresubsequently released as progeny virus. While a great deal of attention has beenfocused on better understanding this phase of the viral life cycle, many aspects of ...

The distribution of major retroviral clades in vertebrates.

, 2018
The left panel shows the phylogenetic relationship among major vertebrate groups. The numbers near the vertebrates indicate the numbers of genomes used in this study. The top-right panel shows the phylogenetic relationship among the five major retroviral

Effects of Naturally Occurring Mutations in Bovine Leukemia Virus 5′-LTR and Tax Gene on Viral Transcriptional Activity

Pathogens, 2020
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus infecting bovine B cells and causing enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL). The long terminal repeat (LTR) plays an indispensable role in viral gene expression. The BLV Tax protein acts as the main transactivator

Emphasis on cell turnover in two hosts infected by bovine leukemia virus: a rationale for host susceptibility to disease.

, 2008
peer reviewedBovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus that infects and induces accumulation of B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues of cattle, leading to leukemia/lymphoma. BLV can also be experimentally transmitted to sheep,

Establishment and Characterization of Human Cell Lines Stably Infected With Bovine Leukemia Virus In Vitro Reveals Apoptosis After Latency and Silencing

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the etiological agent of B‐cell leukemia/lymphoma in cattle worldwide. Although previous studies have linked BLV to breast cancer in women, its zoonotic potential remains controversial. Moreover, no previous studies have clearly investigated the BLV latency in human cells.

HIGHLIGHTS ON DISTINCTIVE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES OF HTLV TAX PROTEINS.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Human T-cell Leukemia Viruses (HTLVs) are complex human retroviruses of the Deltaretrovirus genus. Four types have been identified thus far, with HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 much more prevalent than HTLV-3 or -4 .

First Evidence of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Culicoides Biting Midges and the Stable Fly Stomoxys calcitrans Collected on Cattle Farms in Poland

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a cell‐associated retrovirus of cattle transmitted mainly through the transfer of infected lymphocytes, but the possible role of hematophagous insects in its epidemiology remains incompletely understood. This study investigated BLV DNA in field‐collected Culicoides biting midges and Stomoxys calcitrans from cattle farms ...

Descriptive epidemiology of bovine leukemia virus among herds enrolled in a national study of the impacts of infection on dairy cow longevity and production

, 2015
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus prevalent in approximately 80% of US dairy herds and 30% of US dairy cattle. Previous work by our research group and others has shown that BLV infection leads to decreased milk production, impaired immune ...

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

Microbiology 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 ...

Computational analysis of envelope glycoproteins from diverse geographical isolates of bovine leukemia virus identifies highly conserved peptide motifs

Retrovirology, 2018
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a deltaretrovirus infecting bovine B cells and causing enzootic bovine leucosis. The SU or surface subunit, gp51, of its envelope glycoprotein is involved in receptor recognition and virion attachment.
