Clinical Manifestations of Bovine Leukosis

摘要

The diagnosis of animals infected with BLV can be accurately identified with the available serologic tests. Diagnosis of animals in the incipient stage of leukosis is extremely difficult and can only be diagnosed by a positive tissue biopsy. Animals with frank tumor involvement can be suspected and diagnosed on a tentative clinical basis on the signs reported. Positive diagnosis must be made on the basis of a biopsy of the tumor or in some cases on a hemotological examination. (ERA citation 05:001847)
