Genome-Wide Identification and KASP Validation of Two Host Genetic Loci Associated with Bovine Leukemia Virus Proviral Load
The proviral load (PVL) of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is associated with viral transmission and disease progression to BLV-induced enzootic bovine leukosis and is influenced by genetic polymorphisms of the bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 gene. However, its host genetic determinants remain partially defined becaus...
