Abstract excerpt
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), a common neoplastic disease in cattle. Since animals with high BLV proviral load (PVL) pose a greater transmission risk, identifying cattle with low PVL is crucial for herd management. Certain bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 alleles- DRB3*009:02, DRB3*014:01:01, and DRB3*002:01-are strongly associated with low PVL in...
