Detection of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Argentine, Bolivian, Paraguayan and Cuban Native Cattle Using a Quantitative Real-Time PCR Assay-BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR-2 [PDF]
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), an oncogenic retrovirus of the genus Deltaretrovirus, causes enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), the most prevalent neoplastic disease in cattle and a major source of economic loss.

No genetic evidence for involvement of Deltaretroviruses in adult patients with precursor and mature T-cell neoplasms [PDF]
Background The Deltaretrovirus genus comprises viruses that infect humans (HTLV), various simian species (STLV) and cattle (BLV). HTLV-I is the main causative agent in adult T-cell leukemia in endemic areas and some of the simian T-cell lymphotropic ...

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 ...

Structural basis for the inhibition of HTLV-1 integration inferred from cryo-EM deltaretroviral intasome structures [PDF]
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is an oncogenic deltaretrovirus. Here the authors provide structural characterization of the binding mechanism of novel integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) candidates to limit HTLV-1 infection.

Exploitation of CREB signaling by HTLV-1 and BLV: A central axis in viral persistence and leukemogenesis. [PDF]
Deltaretroviruses, including Human T-cell Leukemia Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV), are oncogenic pathogens that exploit host transcriptional machinery to establish persistence and drive malignant transformation.

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 ...

Early and transient reverse transcription during primary deltaretroviral infection of sheep [PDF]
Background Intraindividual genetic variability plays a central role in deltaretrovirus replication and associated leukemogenesis in animals as in humans. To date, the replication of these viruses has only been investigated during the chronic phase of the

Molecular Studies of HTLV-1 Replication: An Update
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first human retrovirus discovered. Studies on HTLV-1 have been instrumental for our understanding of the molecular pathology of virus-induced cancers.

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

Cryo-EM structure of the deltaretroviral intasome in complex with the PP2A regulatory subunit B56γ [PDF]
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a pathogenic deltaretrovirus. Here the authors resolve the cryo-EM structure of the deltaretroviral intasome in complex with the human host PP2A regulatory subunit.
