Summary. The current, conditionally safe, epizootic state of livestock in Ukraine regarding bovine leukemia has been determined. The lack of comprehensive anti-leukemia health programs in the detection of single animals infected with the leukemia virus in almost every region, except for Zakarpattia and Lviv regions, is due to violations of the regulations and the scope of diagnostic tests for leukemia and measures to prevent recurrence of the epizootic. In the postwar period, it would be strategic to develop and implement regulations for serological control of livestock on each farm, depending on specific epizootic circumstances

Keywords: immunosuppression, immunodiffusion, ELISA, seroprevalence, serological monitoring
