AB Serological (Western blot) detection of bovine immunodeficiency-like
virus (BIV) in Holstein dairy herds is reported in Costa Rica for the
first time, as well as the isolation of the virus, from a seropositive
bovine, by cocultivation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)
with embryonic rabbit epithelial (EREp) cells. The isolated strain,
BIVCR1, reacted similarly in Western blot as the reference strain BIV
R29 and is clearly distinguishable from bovine leukaemia virus (BLV).
The data suggest an association between BIV infections and BLV
infections, as it has been reported elsewhere. From these results it can
be concluded that BIV is present in Costa Rica and it is suggested that
these viral infections will probably follow the epidemiological
parameters of BLV infections in Costa Rica, reaching high infection
rates in dairy herds.
