Resumen
La leucosis enzoótica bovina (LEB) es una enfermedad infecciosa producida por el virus de la leu-cosis bovina (BLV). Aunque la mayoría de los animales infectados son asintomáticos, algunos desarrollan lin-fosarcoma. La transmisión ocurre principalmente por vía horizontal, a través de prácticas iatrogénicas. Se ha sugerido la posibilidad de transmisión por insectos hematófagos. De manera vertical por vía transplacentaria, calostro y leche. En Argentina, la enfermedad ha avanzado de manera exponencial desde la década de 1970. Su prevalencia varía en diferentes regiones, y se observa una mayor tasa de infección en tambos en la región central del país. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo actualizar información sobre la situación de BLV en la pro-vincia de Misiones. Para ello, se analizó la infección con BLV, su asociación con la categoría animal y tamaño de rodeo y su distribución espacial en 135 tambos del sector de la agricultura familiar en la provincia. Se encontró una tasa de rodeos infectados del 13,3% y se identificóun conglomerado espacial de alta tasa en la zona donde se concentran la mayor cantidad de tambos de la provincia. La infección fue más frecuente en la categoría vacas y en aquellos tambos de mayor tamaño, aunque estas diferencias no fueron significativas. Estos resultados proporcionan información actualizada sobre la presencia de BLV en tambos de agricultura familiar en Misiones. Se destaca la importancia de abordar prácticas de manejo de para evitar factores de riesgo y así prevenir la transmisión de la enfermedad.
Bovine enzootic leukosis (BEL) is an infectious disease caused by the bovine leukemia virus (BLV). Although most infected animals are asymptomatic, some develop lymphosarcoma. Transmission occurs mainly horizontally through iatrogenic practices. The possibility of transmission by hematophagous insects has been suggested. It can also occur vertically through transplacental route, colostrum, and milk. In Argentina, the disease has been rapidly spreading since the 1970s. Its prevalence varies in different regions, with a higher infection rate observed in dairy farms in the central region of the country. This study aimed to provide updated information on the BLV situation in the province of Misiones. The infection with BLV, its association with animal category and herd size, and its spatial distribution in 135 small-scale family agriculture dairy farms in the province were analyzed. An infection rate of 13.3% was found in the herds, with a spatial cluster of high rates identified in the area with the highest number of dairy farms in the province. Infection was more frequent in cows and in larger farms, although these differences were not statistically significant. These results offer updated information on the presence of BLV in family agriculture dairy farms in Misiones, emphasizing the importance of addressing management practices to prevent risk factors and disease transmission.
