Genotyping of BLV isolates spread at the territory of the Republ

Gulyukin M.I., Kozyreva N.G., Gendzhieva O.B., Ivanova L.A.

Summary

Amplification of the desired fragment of the pol gene was carried out with the use of developed primers PF2-PR2 complementary to a section of the BLV pol gene. The 438 bp fragments of the genome of BLV provirus isolates from mature seropositive cows were obtained by the PCR method. The nucleotide sequence of a section of the provirus pol gene of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) isolates from animals from some farms in Gorodovikovsky region of the Republic of Kalmykiya is determined whereby permit concluding homology of circulating viruses and belong to the same group as BLV isolates from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, and the United States. On the basis of the revealed homology of the section of the pol gene of BLV isolates, primers PF2-PR2 can be used also for detecting BLV proviral DNA when conducting routine PCR diagnosis of bovine leucosis.

Key words: bovine leucosis virus, PCR, sequencing, phylogenetic analysis.
