Summary. Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is one of the retroviruses, which genetically, structurally and functionally related to viruses of human T-cell leukemia. BLV is a very convenient model for studying the pathogenesis of human leukemia. Genomes of retroviruses have high variability levels due to lack of a mechanism of correct errors that occur when copying matrix during replication, and possible genetic recombination. In this regard, the study of the genetic variability of the virus is one of the major objectively for biological monitoring. At this time, molecular genetic analysis (polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) is a necessary part of phylogenetic research. The aim of this work was to study the variability of the bovine leukemia virus, to establish phylogenetic relationships between isolates sequenced bovine leukemia virus, which circulates in farms of different regions in Ukraine, with other animals retroviruses. The sampling of clinical material from cattle farms was conducted in different geographical regions in Ukraine and extracted proviral BLV DNA. Totally 831 samples of peripheral blood were collected and tested from cattle farms in Kharkiv region, 10 samples — Kirovohrad region; 10 samples — Donetsk region; 41 samples — Crimea, Simferopol region; 10 — samples of Poltava region. Sequenced fragments of env gene of bovine leukemia virus proviral DNA, circulating in different geographical regions in Ukraine were analyzed. Established isolates of bovine leukemia virus, circulating in Ukraine, belonging to the Euro-Asian subtype. Proved genetic affinity of leukemia virus and bovine syncytial virus, Jembrana disease virus and bovine immunodeficiency virus.

Keywords: DNA, phylogeographic relationships, polymerase chain reaction, sequencing, retroviruses, virus bovine leukemia
