    Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus structurally related to human T-cell leukemia virus-I and -II and simian T-cell leukemia virus. It infects principally B-lymphocytes (

    ). The disease is common in the United States, where economic losses as a result of the condemnation of carcasses with lymphoma cause an annual estimated loss of $44 million (
