Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was transmitted by horse flies, Tabanus fuscicostatus, from a cow with a lymphocyte count of 31,500/mm3 to goats and dairy calves. As few as 10 and 20 flies transmitted BLV to goats and calves respectively, but the minimal number of flies required to transmit the infection was not established. Groups of 150 and 100 T fuscicostatus transmitted BLV to beef calves from a cow with a lymphocyte count of 14,600/mm3. These results support a role for horse flies in the horizontal transmission of BLV.
牛白血病病毒（BLV）由黑腹螫蝇（Tabanus fuscicostatus）从一头淋巴细胞计数为31,500/mm³的奶牛传播给山羊和犊牛。分别仅有10只和20只苍蝇将BLV传播给了山羊和犊牛，但传播该感染所需的最少苍蝇数量尚未确定。150只和100只黑腹螫蝇分别将BLV从一头淋巴细胞计数为14,600/mm³的奶牛传播给了肉牛犊。这些结果支持了螫蝇在BLV水平传播中的作用。
