Abstract

The AGID detected one case positive for bovine viral leukosis, while the remaining cases (sera) were negative. The haematological picture of the positive case and the remaining negative cases had increases in the total leukocyte counts which were attributed to systemic non-viral infections. Virus isolation was not attempted. The present serodiagnosis is the pioneering report on the disease in Iraq. Further studies will be conducted.
