  We investigated the infection of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) related to other pathogens [Neospora caninum, Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), and pathogenic bacteria] in 80 bovine aborted fetuses. The materials comprised whole fetuses, fetal organs, and placenta. The BLV was diagnosed by nested-PCR (env gp51 BLV gene), the identification of viral genotypes by sequencing, and the phylogenetic analysis by neighborjoining and maximum composite likelihood methods. The other pathogens and diagnoses were, respectively: Neospora caninum (nested-PCR), BoHV-1 (nested-PCR), BVDV (PCR), Brucella spp. (isolation and identification), Leptospira spp. (PCR), aerobic bacteria [Enterobacteriaceae, Gram positive cocci, Trueperella (Arcanobacterium) pyogenes] and micro-aerophilic (Campylobacter spp., Histophilus somni, and Listeria monocytogenes) by isolation and identifi..
