  • Title: Evidence for papillomaviruses in ocular lesions in cattle.
    Author: Ford JN, Jennings PA, Spradbrow PB, Francis J.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 1982 Mar; 32(2):257-9. PubMed ID: 6281870.
    Abstract:
    Negatively stained preparations of various ocular lesions, generally considered to be precursors to bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma, were subjected to electron microscopic examination for viruses. Lesions examined included five conjunctival plaques, an acanthotic lesion from an eyelid, 15 conjunctival papillomas, two papillomas of the eyelid and two keratinised elongated proliferative lesions of the eyelid (cutaneous horns). Eight lesions contained particles that resembled papillomaviruses. These consisted of a conjunctival plaque, five conjunctival papillomas, a papilloma of the eyelid and one of the samples of cutaneous horn. The particles were present in small numbers and were found only after prolonged search. The finding of these particles suggests that papillomavirus may be involved in the aetiology of bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma.
