Oral papillomas were identified in two New Zealand white male rabbits from Mexico City. The growths were observed on the tip and ventral aspect of the tongue in a 3-year-old rabbit weighing 4 kg and on the tip of the tongue in a 15-month-old rabbit weighing 3.6 kg. Microscopic examination of the lesions revealed epithelial papillomas around fibrovascular stalks, and ultrastructural examination disclosed crystalline arrays of viral particles consistent with papova virus. This finding extends the known geographic distribution of the disease. Previous cases have been from the United States, The Netherlands, and Great Britain.
在两只来自墨西哥城的新西兰白色雄性兔子身上发现了口腔乳头状瘤。在一只体重4千克、3岁的兔子的舌尖和舌腹面以及一只体重3.6千克、15个月大的兔子的舌尖观察到了肿物。对病变进行显微镜检查发现纤维血管蒂周围有上皮乳头状瘤，超微结构检查发现与乳头多瘤空泡病毒一致的病毒颗粒晶体阵列。这一发现扩展了该疾病已知的地理分布范围。此前的病例来自美国、荷兰和英国。
