Abstract

Although BLV antigens have been detected in the urine of infected cows, infectious BLV has not been detected, and attempts to transmit the virus by inoculation of urine into susceptible recipients have failed. Neither BLV nor its antigens have been detected in saliva or semen, and neither secretion has been implicated in the natural transmission of the virus.
