摘要: Molecular characterization of Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) isolates from Brazil using the env gene sequences revealed a high conservation this gene. In most cases substitutions corresponded to silent transitions. addition, cystein residues, potential glycosylation sites, neutralization domains and other critical residues involved with envelope structural viral infectivity were conserved. Most found in aminoacid gp51 protein localized G H epitopes. Using SIFT software, it was predicted that they should not alter functions. Phylogenetic analyses showed partial or complete grouped three four phylogenetic clusters, respectively. The Brazilian had similar mutation rates as compared samples countries, belonged at least two clusters.
