Journal Article
Horizontal transmission of bovine leukemia virus from lymphocytotic cattle, and beneficial effects of insect vector control
2013
Overview
Furthermore, BLV can be horizontally transmitted through the transfer of infected cells by bites of insects, such as stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans) ( Buxton and others 1985 ). [...]in addition to the prevention of iatrogenic and contact transmissions, vector control is important for preventing the spread of BLV infection. In Farm A, where many blood-feeding stable flies were observed, vector control performed using a combination of insect repellents was very efficient as no new cases of BLV infection were observed after the treatment. Because there are many transmission risk factors, effective control measures depend on the identified risk factors. [...]recent studies in our laboratory have revealed that positive conversion in dairy and beef cattle herds remains high (data not shown). Because BLV prevalence was reported to be 35.2% in Japan ( Murakami and others 2013 ), risk factors must be determined and appropriate control measures must be taken to prevent the spread of BLV infection. [...]studies are now being conducted to evaluate risk factors for BLV transmission in different situations.
