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 ...

Comparative Evaluation of Three Commercial Quantitative Real-Time PCRs Used in Japan for Bovine Leukemia Virus

Viruses, 2022
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic virus belonging to the genus Deltaretrovirus and is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis. Proviral load (PVL) determined by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) is now widely used as an indicator of not

Bovine Leukemia Virus: Global Prevalence and Localized Resurgence in China Revealed by an Integrated Meta‐Analysis and Case Series

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), causes substantial economic losses in the global cattle industry. While some regions have made progress in terms of control, the global epidemiological landscape and situation in China have not been fully elucidated.

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

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 .

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.
