The Jembrana Disease Virus (JDV or BIV-J) is a retrovirus that belongs to the genus of lentiviruses and can cause acute illness in Bali cattle ( Bos javanicus ). It is a subtype of the BIV ( Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus ), 74% of the nucleotide sequences match. Although this virus is counted among the lentiviruses, the course of a JDV infection is different from the typical slow course of the disease with lentiviruses: It leads to an acute infection with a sometimes fatal course. This also distinguishes JDV infection from BIV infection.

The Jembrana disease was in 1964 as a disease in cattle in the district of Jembrana in Bali in Indonesia observed. The virus is endemic to some areas of Indonesia . 60,000–80,000 cattle died at Jembrana in Bali.

Symptoms

The sick animals show lethargy , fever , lymphadenopathy and lose weight. The mortality is 17% to 20%.

therapy

No causal therapy is known.
