Özet
Four hundred blood sera from a cattle production unit were tested for BLV-(Bovine Leukaemia Virus) antibody with IP (Institut Porquier) and SE (Svanova Biotech) ELISA kits. Seventy-seven cattle with BLV-antibody (19.25%) and 77 without the antibody were used. No significant difference was found between O.D. of sera of PL + (Persistent Lymphocytosis Positive) and PL-(Negative) cattle. The mean O.D. of urine samples of 77 seropositive cattle was significantly higher than that of 77 seronegative cattle (P < 0.01). There were also differences between urine O.D.s of seropositive (PL +) and seropositive (PL-) groups of cattle with IP (P < 0.05) and SB (P < 0.01) kits. All the results revealed the presence of BLV-antibody in the urine of the cattle without any urinary dysfunction.
