Abstract: Let k be a positive integer. Let G be a balanced bipartite graph of order 2n with bipartition (X,Y), and S a subset of X. Suppose that every pair of nonadjacent vertices (x,y) with xinS,yinY satisfies d(x)+d(y)geqn+1. We show that if |S|geq2k+2, then G contains k disjoint cycles covering S such that each of the k cycles contains at least two vertices of S. Here, both the degree condition and the lower bound of |S| are best possible. And we also show that if |S|=2k+1, then G contains k disjoint cycles such that each of the k cycles contains at least two vertices of S.
