Abstract excerpt
Isolates of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) exhibit a striking genomic diversity, most of which are located in the viral envelope gene. Since this property of the BIV group of viruses may play an important role in the pathobiology of the virus, the surface envelope gene, particularly the conserved (C) 2, hypervariable (V) 1, V2 and C3 regions, of eleven different isolates from different environments with...
