Abstract
Bovine leukosis virus (BLV) was transmitted experimentally by sequenti al rectal examination of BLV-seropositive and BLV-seronegative cattle by a veterinarian who did not change gloves between examinations. Five weeks after repeated rectal examination the first of the three cattle became BLV seropositive. The other two cattle seroconverted after 8 a nd 11 weeks.
