“…Anti-BIV and -BLV antibodies were detected in those sera by Western blot analysis using the BIV gag protein, p26 [12][13][14][15][16], and immunodiffusion test using the BLV glycoprotein (gp51) antigen as described by Onuma et al [19], respectively. As summarized in Table 1, the prevalence of BIV in dairy cattle from each district ranged from 0.0 to 25.0% (average 11.0%), whereas BLV ranged from 0.0 to 13.3% (average 3.3%).…”

ABSTRACT. Serological survey of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection was conducted in dairy cattle from 10 different regions of Hokkaido, Japan. Among 390 cattle, 11.0% of cattle were BIV-seropositive and 3.3% were BLV-seropositive. Moreover, in two dairy farms, where bovine leukosis has been reported, prevalence of BIV infections were 6.4 and 9.1%, respectively. In contrast, among 150 beef cattle, 16.6% were BIV-seropositive while none was BLV-seropositive. Dual infections with BLV and BIV in dairy cattle were tested by using 107 BLV-seropositive sera, and 20 sera were found BIV-positive (18.7%). These results indicate that BIV infection was widespread in Hokkaido. KEY WORDS: bovine immunodeficiency virus, bovine leukemia virus, seroepidemiological survey.

“…As summarized in Table 1, 10.3% of buffaloes and 15.8% of cattle tested were found seropositive for BIV infection. To demonstrate the correlation between BIV and BLV infections, these samples were also analyzed for anti-BLV antibodies by immunodiffusion test using the BLV glycoprotein antigen as described by Onuma et al [19]. Few animals were found seropositive for BLV (0.8% in buffaloes, 0% in cattle).…”

ABSTRACT. A survey of antibodies to bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) known as bovine lentivirus and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was conducted with samples from water buffalo and cattle populations in Pakistan. A total of 370 water buffaloes and 76 cattle were tested, and l0.3% and 15.8%, respectively, were found positive for anti-BIV p26 antibodies determined by Western blotting, while 0.8% of water buffaloes and no cattle were positive for anti-BLV antibodies determined by immunodiffusion test. BIV-seropositive water buffaloes and cattle were found to have BIV proviral DNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells determined by nested polymerase chain reaction. This is the first report of BIV infections in water buffaloes.-KEY WORDS: bovine immunodeficiency virus, bovine leukemia virus, water buffalo.
