Bovine leucosis in a pregnant uterus

Keywords: BLV, cow, bovine, leucosis, pregnant, vagina


Image size: 1672 x 1404px

Enzootic bovine leucosis is a result of infection by bovine leukemia virus (BLV). Less than 1% of all the cattle infected with this virus actually develop lymphoid sarcomas and often these are found in pregnant cows. In this case, where the cow was approximately 5 months pregnant, the vagina was affected (black arrows) as well as the myometrium (yellow and green arrows). The double ended green arrow shows a diffuse area of the myometrium thickened by a sarcoma.
