Bovine leucosis is caused by the bovine leukemia virus (BLV). Many cows are carriers and asymptomatic. In this case, as shown by the arrows, there are multiple foci of leucosis in the uterus of the cow. This cow also had a cystic CL,in the right ovary; a normal structure in many cycling cows (not to be confused with a luteinized cyst).
