Abstract excerpt
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leukosis, a worldwide disease that causes substantial losses in the cattle industry. BoLA-DRB3 is a polymorphic gene associated with BLV proviral load (PVL), which dictates disease progression and transmission risk; progeny PVL is influenced by the BoLA-DRB3 alleles of their sires. In addition, two novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting BLV PVL...
