Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a causative agent of enzootic bovine lymphoma (EBL). BLV is prevalent worldwide, and ten genotypes have been classified based on the sequence of the envelope glycoprotein (gp51) gene. In this study, we present a simple and generally applicable PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method to identify BLV genotypes. While the genotyping results obtained by previously described PCR-RFLP methods matched only 78.96% to the results of phylogenetic analy ...[more]
