This ALV subgroup J virus (ALV-J), which is identified as the etiologic agent for ML, has caused substantial losses in heavy breeders in many areas of the world. This document is VM131, one of a series of the Veterinary Medicine-Large Animal Clinical Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
