horizontal transmission and phylogenetic analysis of bovine leukemia virus in two districts of miyazaki, japan.	horizontal transmission is recognized as a major infection route for bovine leukemia virus (blv), and cattle with high viral loads are considered to be a major infectious source in a herd. however, a correlation between viral loads and the risk of infection has been insufficient to use as a foundation for blv control strategies. in this report, we examined the epidemiology of blv infection and the infectious source in a local area. in 2013-2014, blv infection was investigated in 1,823 cattle fro ...	2015	25892699
phylogenetic analysis of env gene of bovine leukemia virus strains spread in miyazaki prefecture, japan.	to understand how the latest dominant bovine leukemia virus (blv) strains were introduced and spread in the miyazaki prefecture, we collected blood samples from 3 geographic areas (north, central and south) and carried out sequence analysis of the blv env gene. two genotypes, genotype i, and iii, were identified and the majority of the strains belonged to genotype i (71/74). to clarify a route of blv introduction, we divided the strains into 20 subgenotypes based on their nucleotide sequences an ...	2017	28331116
