Novel single nucleotide polymorphisms in the bovine leukemia virus genome are associated with proviral load and affect the expression profile of viral non-coding transcripts.

Abstract excerpt

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infects bovine B-cells and causes malignant lymphoma, resulting in severe economic losses in the livestock industry. To control the spread of BLV, several studies have attempted to clarify the molecular mechanisms of BLV pathogenesis, but the details of the mechanism are still enigmatic. Currently, viral non-coding RNAs are attracting attention as a novel player for BLV pathogenesis...
