Detection of bovine immunodeficiency virus in blood and milk-derived leukocytes by use of polymerase chain reaction
1995
Nash, J.W. | Hanson, L.A. | St Cyr Coats, K.
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.
