Transient Viraemia with Bovine Leukaemia Virus in Bulls

Abstract: Summary A total of 432 cattle, predominantly of Holstein‐Friesian breed, was tested for bovine leukemia virus (BLV) by the lymphocyte‐kidney cell co‐cultivation technique. 18 animals (4.17%) harboured infectious BLV in the peripheral blood lymphocytes. These animals also showed low titres of BLV antibodies in the ACIF and ELISA tests, ranging from 1 : 5 to 1 : 16, but gave negative results in the immunodiffusion test. In six bulls, kept under quarantine for twelve months, BLV was transiently detected for three… Show more

“…They also recognize regulatory proteins such as Tax and Rex. While in experimentally infected animals anti-gp51 antibodies seem to appear earlier and at consistently higher titers than the p24 antibodies [5,6], a certain number of naturally infected cattle develop an antibody response to p24 at a higher level [7][8][9][10]. Because the presence of antibodies to BLV is a constant and early feature of BLV infection, serological examination of cattle is the best method to control and detect infected animals.…”
