Due to the prevalence of different bovine leukosis virus (BLV) species in the cattle population in Europe, problems may arise in the serological diagnosis of BLV infections. In addition, earlier investigations demonstrated that contamination of the BLV antigen-producing cell culture systems by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) may give rise to misinterpretation of serological test results after BVDV vaccination of cattle. By co-cultivation of peripheral leukocytes of a BLV-infected cow with a permanent sheep kidney cell line, a new BLV-producing cell line named PO714 was established. This line carries a BLV provirus of the Belgian species and has been tested to be free of a variety of possibly contaminating viruses and mycoplasms. Investigations of a panel of well-characterised sera by agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) and capture ELISA (cELISA) tests using antigen prepared from this new cell line in comparison with antigen of the well-known cell line FLK/BLV yielded comparable results. False positive results caused by BVDV cross-reactions could be eliminated when tests were carried out with antigen derived from the new cell line.

Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV)-infected Holstein cattle carrying certain bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 alleles were previously shown to be resistant to BLV provirus multiplication, while those carrying other alleles were susceptible. This study aimed to determine whether the BoLA-DRB3 alleles carried by BLV-infected cattle could predict proviral load (PVL) and peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) count distribution (PVL/PBL distribution).
Methods: Blood samples from Holstein cattle on four dairy farms were tested for the presence of BLV antibodies using a commercial ELISA.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis infection, salmonellosis, and bovine leukosis virus are important dairy and beef cattle diseases from a health perspective. For herds without infection, keeping the disease out through testing of source herds should be prioritized. For herds with infection, control programs should be instituted and followed to reduce the prevalence and ultimately eliminate the disease.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the potential link between Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection and breast cancer, responding to ongoing debate and inconsistent previous findings.
- Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, analyzing 17 studies, with 12 included in the final analysis to assess this association and calculate odds ratios.
- The results indicate a significant statistical association between BLV infection and an increased risk of breast cancer, with a pooled odds ratio suggesting a more than threefold increase in risk when certain studies were excluded for heterogeneity.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), which presents worldwide prevalence. BLV caused substantial economic loss in China around the 1980s; then, it could not be detected for some time, until recently. Due to its latent and chronic characteristics, the efficient and accurate detection of BLV is of utmost significance to the timely implementation of control measures.

Article Synopsis
- * Out of 145 cows tested, 42 were found to be BLV-seropositive, with many experiencing health issues, but there was no significant difference in milk production between infected and non-infected cows.
- * Metabolomic analysis showed notable differences in cow metabolism linked to BLV, identifying specific disrupted metabolites related to energy metabolism, immune function, and potential early cancer indicators, which could help in detecting infected cows and understanding the disease better.
