A total of 300 blood samples were analyzed and 12.3% were found to be positive for anti-BIV p26 antibodies by Western blot analysis and 1.6% positive for anti-BLV gp51 antibodies by an immunodiffusion test. BIV infection was confirmed with the detection of BIV-provirus DNA using the nested polymerase chain reaction. This is the first evidence for the presence of BIV in cattle in Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVeterinary sciencesBos taurusBovinaeBovine immunodeficiency virusBovine immunodeficiency-like virusBovine leukemia virusUnidentified retrovirusMolecular evidenceSeroprevalenceTurkeyLeukemia-virusDairy-cattleSeroprevalenceInfectionLentivirusPopulationAntibodiesBIVAnimalsAntibodies, viralBlotting, westernCattleCattle diseasesDNA, viralEnzootic bovine leukosisFemaleImmunodeficiency virus, bovineImmunodiffusionLentivirus infectionsLeukemia virus, bovineMalePolymerase chain reactionSeroepidemiologic studies;TurkeyArticle0001842330000012-s2.0-00374850943851112921344Veterinary sciencesJembrana Disease Virus; Banteng; Bovine Immunodeficiency VirusAntibody detectionArticleBlood analysisBovine immunodeficiency like virusBovine leukemia virusCattle diseaseCattle farmingControlled studyDNA determinationImmunodiffusionLaboratory diagnosisNonhumanPolymerase chain reactionProvirusRetrovirus infectionSeroepidemiologyTurkey (republic)Western blottingGlycoproteinProtein antibodyVirus antibodyVirus DNA
