A high incidence of bovine papular stomatitis (BPS) occurred in neonatal calves following neonatal thymectomy and antilymphocyte globulin treatment, sham thymectomy, treatment with normal horse globulin and in untreated calves. The source of BPS virus was not identified but was suspected to be latent in the calves and activated by thymectomy although no experimental evidence directly supported this conclusion. The potential for activation of a latent BPS infection was indicated by an apparent relationship between the stress of surgery or foreign protein inoculation and the severity of lesions. Subsequent bovine viral diarrhea virus infection did not result in recrudescence.
在新生犊牛接受新生期胸腺切除和抗淋巴细胞球蛋白治疗、假胸腺切除、用正常马球蛋白治疗以及未治疗的犊牛中，牛丘疹性口炎（BPS）的发病率很高。BPS病毒的来源未确定，但怀疑其在犊牛中潜伏，并因胸腺切除而被激活，尽管没有实验证据直接支持这一结论。手术应激或接种外源蛋白与病变严重程度之间的明显关系表明存在潜伏性BPS感染被激活的可能性。随后的牛病毒性腹泻病毒感染并未导致复发。
