Based on our quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) results, we classified tested cattle into non-infected, low-PVL (<400 copies/10 ng DNA), and high-PVL (≥400 copies/10 ng DNA) groups. The 2 ELISA kits had excellent agreement (κ = 0.97; 95% CI [0.93, 1.00]) and moderate correlation (<i>r</i> = 0.617). In a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the Leukosis Serum X2 ELISA performed better than the EBL ELISA at identifying high-PVL cattle, with a higher area under the curve (0.840 vs. 0.785) and higher sensitivity (89.7% vs. 84.6%) and specificity (66.4% vs. 56.9%). Both ELISA kits had a moderate ability to distinguish high-level BLV-infected cattle. Our results suggest that a 2-step screening concept could be valuable: ELISA screening followed by confirmatory qPCR testing to identify cattle with a high PVL.</p>","PeriodicalId":17579,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"1396-1400"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13473200/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148727057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
