The occurrence of sporadic cases of enzootic bovine leukosis in commercial dairy farms in Saudi Arabia was recently confirmed and found to be associated with importation of breeding heifers. Immunodiffusion test was applied to screen the prevalence of infection with bovine leukemia virus among local traditional and dairy cattle. All the 102 examined local cattle were negative, while out of the 1329 tested dairy animals (originating from 23 farms), 268 (from 16 farms) showed precipitating activity. As an epizootiological model, all animals of an infected dairy farm were serologically examined. Out of the 560 originally imported cows and the 1849 animals born locally in the farm, 217 (39%) and 468 (25%) animals, respectively, were found positive. The correlation between the age of locally born animals and the occurrence of antibodies against bovine leukemia virus was discussed.
