| genomic characterisation of the feline sarcoid-associated papillomavirus and proposed classification as bos taurus papillomavirus type 14. | feline sarcoids are rare mesenchymal neoplasms of domestic and exotic cats. previous studies have consistently detected short dna sequences from a papillomavirus (pv), designated feline sarcoid-associated papillomavirus (fesarpv), in these neoplasms. the fesarpv sequence has never been detected in any non-sarcoid sample from cats but has been amplified from the skin of cattle suggesting that feline sarcoids are caused by cross-species infection by a bovine papillomavirus (bpv). the aim of the pr ... | 2015 | 25840470 |
| amplification of feline sarcoid-associated papillomavirus dna sequences from bovine skin. | abstract feline sarcoids are uncommon dermal neoplasms that are thought to be caused by papillomaviral (pv) infection. feline sarcoid-associated pv (fesarpv) has been consistently detected in sarcoids from north american and new zealand cats but has not been detected within any other feline sample. this suggests that feline sarcoids may develop due to cross-species infection by a pv from an unidentified reservoir host. while there is some epidemiological evidence to suggest that cattle are the r ... | 2010 | 20374567 |
| cutaneous sarcoids in captive african lions associated with feline sarcoid-associated papillomavirus infection. | solitary and multiple cutaneous and mucocutaneous masses were identified in 5 of 24 captive african lions (panthera leo) over a 6-month-period. all masses were surgically excised, and all were histologically similar to equine and feline sarcoids. dna was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue. polymerase chain reaction amplified dna sequences that had been previously detected in feline sarcoids and clinically normal bovine skin. all lions had been fed a diet that included bovine ... | 2010 | 21169593 |
