“…Since its recognitions as a lentivirus in the late 1980s, seroepidemiological evidence indicates that BIV infection has a worldwide distribution. Serological surveys have shown the presence of seropositive cattle in the USA [23], Canada [11], the Netherlands [10], New Zealand [9], Germany [17], France [20], Great Britain [21], Japan [12], Costa Rica [8], Italy [3], Australia [5], Korea [4], in water buffalo in Pakistan [15], in draught animal in Cambodia [13], Indonesia [1] and Brazil [14]. However, conclusive evidence that BIV causes immunodeficiency in cattle has not been established.…”

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.

“…The highest seroprevalence was noted among herds located in the Wielkopolska region as compared to others, and this can be related to the massive import of cattle in the early 90s from Germany and the Netherlands, i.e. countries where BIV infection was noted (Horzinek et al 1991, Muluneh 1994. In our study the occurrence of BIV seropositive cattle was not associated with seropositivity to BLV; however, dually infected cattle were found in 56% of herds and an increase in the number of BIV-infected cattle in parallel with BLV prevalence was noted.…”

A seroprevalence study of bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) was undertaken on 1,541 serum samples from Holstein cattle from 23 herds, located in different geographical regions of Poland. The analysis was performed using ELISA, with recombinant Gag protein of BIV as antigen. The average BIV prevalence was 4.9% in individual cattle, while the percentage of herds harboring at least one seropositive animal, was 82.6%. To demonstrate the correlation of BIV and bovine leukemia virus infection, all sera were analysed for BLV antibodies and there was only a slight association between both infections. Overall, these results show that BIV infection is present in dairy cattle in Poland at a prevalence rate found in other European countries.

“…Besides in the USA and Great Britain seropositive cattle were detected wherever a number of cattle was checked by various laboratory tests (ELISA, Western blot, focus immunoassay, PCR), for example in Holland (Horzinek et al, 1991), Australia (Forman et al, 1992), Germany (Muluneh, 1994), Canada (Jacobs et al, 1995), Costa Rica (Hidalgo et al, 1995) and France (Polack et al, 1996). But no isolations were reported by these laboratories.…”

After describing the results of BIV research during the past years experimental data are presented which indicate that BIV does not cause any clinical symptoms after infection and that no correlation exists with the other widely spread retrovirus in the bovine, the bovine leukosis virus (BLV). Since contact obviously did not lead to a horizontal transmission it is suggested that transmission occurs, as in the cat, vertically from dam to offspring. It was also found that a long period of time after infection can elapse before antibodies against BIV can be detected. It is also quite clear that HIV and BIV do not have much in common except that both are lentiviruses.
