 AB    Prescapular lymph nodes from 109 animals positive to bovine leukaemia
       virus (BLV) were evaluated in this study. Lymph nodes of 81 animals
       (74.3%) showed an increased number of eosinophils (Eo) in a variety of
       pathological reactions. Eo counts in T-zonal hyperplasia (47 cases,
       43.1%) and mixed hyperplasia (13 cases, 11.9%) were significantly higher
       (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively) than in the control group.
       Similarly, a significantly increased number of blood eosinophils (BEo)
       was observed in cows with diffuse infiltration by Eo in the lymph nodes
       as compared to the number of BEo in cows serologically positive to BLV
       but without morphological changes in the lymph nodes and in cows which
       were serologically negative (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). The
       possible role of eosinophilic granulocytes in the regulation of immune
       response to enzootic bovine leukaemia (EBL) is discussed.
