"Bovine meat and milk factors (BMMFs) are episomal, plasmid-like DNA molecules isolated from bovine sera and milk products and from the peritumor of colorectal cancer CRC patients [[1-6]]. BMMFs were proposed as zoonotic infectious agents and risk factors involved in indirect cancerogenesis of several types of cancer including CRC [[7-10]]. Our studies specifically focus on a link between BMMF and colorectal cancer and are supported by an epidemiological association between global consumption of bovine (red) meat and dairy products and colorectal cancer incidence"
