  • Title: Detection of bovine immunodeficiency virus in blood and milk-derived leukocytes by use of polymerase chain reaction.
    Author: Nash JW, Hanson LA, St Cyr Coats K.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1995 Apr; 56(4):445-9. PubMed ID: 7785819.
    Abstract:
    Bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV) is prevalent in beef and dairy cattle, yet the mode(s) of BIV transmission are undefined. Using polymerase chain reaction, which specifically targeted a 235-bp, highly conserved region of the BIV pol gene, BIV-infected leukocytes were detected in the blood and milk of BIV-seropositive cows. These data confirm the presence of BIV in milk and identify the potential for lactogenic transmission of this virus.
