Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus which causes enzootic bovine leukosis in cattle. It is closely related to the human T‑lymphotropic virus type 1 ( HTLV-I ). BLV may integrate into the genomic DNA of B‑lymphocytes as a DNA intermediate (the provirus ), or exist as unintegrated circular or linear forms. [ 2 ]
As of 2023, ICTV lists under this genus the Bovine leukemia virus and three species of primate T-lymphotropic virus. The genus of viruses is known for its propensity to target immune cells and oncogenicity, evident in the names of the four named species. [1] Infection is usually asymptomatic, but inflammation and cancer can develop over time.
Before its discovery, the location of the encapsidation (packaging) signal within the bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) was suggested by Manksy et al. to either be “between the major splice donor site (in the r region of the viral RNA) and the gag start codon or between the primer binding site (located just downstream of the 5’ LTR) and the gag start codon.” [2] In 1994, researchers from the ...

HTLV-1 is also associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and has been quite well studied in Japan. The time between infection and onset of cancer also varies geographically. It is believed to be about sixty years in Japan and less than forty years in the Caribbean.
