Protease‐mediated maturation of M‐PMV reverse transcriptase into a functional heterodimer [PDF]
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Reverse transcriptase (RT) of retroviruses orchestrates viral replication, yet its structural diversity remains poorly understood. Well‐studied RTs, such as those from HIV‐1, murine leukemia virus, and avian myeloblastosis virus, were characterized decades ago, but less prominent retroviruses have escaped detailed analysis.

Reduced levels of reactive oxygen species correlate with inhibition of apoptosis, rise in thioredoxin expression and increased bovine leukemia virus proviral loads [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 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.

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

Bovine Leukemia Virus DNA in Human Breast Tissue [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 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
