Abstract excerpt
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a highly prevalent retrovirus in US dairy cattle herds and has negatively affected dairy herds by reducing milk production, increasing culling rates, and contributing to economic losses. The objective of this study was to link pathogen genomic data with animal-level data to provide inference to BLV transmission pathways in dairy herds. Blood samples were collected from cattle of at...
