Abstract
Abstract Concurrent occurence of bovine papular stomatitis, rotavirus infection and cryptosporidiosis was diagnosed postmortem in a 7-days-old calf from a farm containing 65 calves of different ages. Multifocal papular stomatitis and rumenitis were present on necropsy. While polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed rotavirus and papular stomatitis virus infections; bovine viral diarrhea, foot and mouth disease, bovine papilloma virus and coronavirus could not be detected. Overall; concurrent co-infection with bovine papular stomatitis virus, rotavirus and cryptosporidium spp. was reported for the first time.
Highlights
Bovine papular stomatitis (BPS) is a disease caused by bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) belonging to the family of Poxviridae, genus Parapoxvirus
This report describes the diagnostic features of BPSV infection concurrent with rotavirus and cryptosporididosis in a 7 days-old calf
Tissue samples from the oral mucosa, forestomach, abomasum, liver, lungs, spleen, pancreas, brain, small and large intestines, heart, and kidneys were fixed in 10% neutral formalin, processed routinely, embedded in paraffin and 4-5 μm sections were obtained and stained with hematoxylin and eosine (H&E)
Summary
Bovine papular stomatitis (BPS) is a disease caused by bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV) belonging to the family of Poxviridae, genus Parapoxvirus. Detection of viral DNA in a large number of healthy animals suggests that subclinically infected animals might be the reservoir of the virus.
