Estimation of genetic parameters and genome-wide association study for enzootic bovine leukosis resistance in Canadian Holstein cattle

ABSTRACT: Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukosis (hereafter referred to as leukosis), frequently observed in North American dairy herds. Infection with BLV can lead to persistent lymphocytosis and tumors and is associated with decreased production, immunity. a...
