Bovine Imunodeficiency Virus (BIV) is a [[:Category:Lentiviruses|Lentivirus]] (non-oncogenic), a genus of the [[:Category:Retroviridae|''Retroviridae'' family]]. BIV causes a persistent viral infection in cattle, and has been reported in the US, Canada,Europe, Pakistan, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and several other countries. The virus is morphologically, antigenetically and genetically related to HIV. It was first isolated in 1969 from a cow with a wasting syndrome.
