| Abstract: | Analysis of the partial bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) gp51 gene sequences obtained from five BLV strains isolated in different
regions of Iran and BLV-FLK strain was carried out. The Iranian BLV gp51 sequences were compared with seven other corresponding
sequences of BLV strains isolated in different countries. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed a variability of 0.003–5.1%
and the phylogenetic tree constructed revealed three clusters. The first cluster included French, German and FLK-BLV samples;
the second cluster included four Iranian samples; and the third cluster included Australian, Korean, Japanese, Brazilian and
Belgian reference strains and one Iranian sample. Iranian samples were had significantly similarity to European and Australian
samples. |
