Papillomavirus was detected electron microscopically in cutaneous fibropapillomas of a giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) and a sable antelope (Hippotragus niger). The virus particles measured 45 nm in diameter. Histopathologically, the lesions showed histopathological features similar to those of equine sarcoid as well as positive immunoperoxidase-staining of tissue sections for papillomavirus antigen. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detected bovine papillomavirus (BPV) DNA. Bovine papillomavirus-1 was characterised by real-time PCR in the sable and giraffe, and cloning and sequencing of the PCR product revealed a similarity to BPV-1. As in the 1st giraffe, the lesions from a 2nd giraffe revealed locally malignant pleomorphism, possibly indicating the lesional end-point of papilloma infection. Neither virus particles nor positively staining papillomavirus antigen could be demonstrated in the 2nd giraffe but papillomavirus DNA was detected by real-time PCR which corresponded with BPV-1 and BPV-2.
通过电子显微镜在一头长颈鹿(长颈鹿属)和一头貂羚(黑马羚属)的皮肤纤维乳头瘤中检测到乳头瘤病毒。病毒颗粒直径为45纳米。组织病理学上,病变显示出与马肉瘤相似的组织病理学特征,并且组织切片对乳头瘤病毒抗原的免疫过氧化物酶染色呈阳性。聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测到牛乳头瘤病毒(BPV)DNA。在貂羚和长颈鹿中通过实时PCR对牛乳头瘤病毒1型进行了鉴定,PCR产物的克隆和测序显示与BPV-1相似。与第一头长颈鹿一样,第二头长颈鹿的病变显示出局部恶性多形性,这可能表明乳头瘤感染的病变终点。在第二头长颈鹿中既未检测到病毒颗粒,也未检测到呈阳性染色的乳头瘤病毒抗原,但通过实时PCR检测到了乳头瘤病毒DNA,其与BPV-1和BPV-2相符。
