Abstract

With the obvious reservation that new findings may, at any time, alter our concepts regarding Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) infections, the current status of our knowledge leads to the conclusion that, except for the frank neoplastic disease and the restrictions on international trade, BLV does not play an important role in cattle disease and has no recognized zoonotic potential.
