ABSTRACT
Papillomaviruses, belonging to the Papillomaviridae family, are small oncogenic viruses, causing papillomas and fibropapillomas in the mucosal and cutaneous epithelia of several animals. In bovine species, thirteen types (BPV 1-13) were characterized to date. In this study, the occurrence of papillomatosis in four outbreaks in cattle herds, coming from Brazilian states were registered. The papillomatous lesions were found located in the teats, udders, head and neck. Under the transmission electron microscope, by the negative staining technique, it was possible to visualized rounded-format papillomavirus, with icosahedral symmetry, characterized as "full" and "empty" particles, measuring on average 60 nm in diameter, in all the 40 samples observed of skin lesion fragments. The ultrathin sections revealed the presence of groups of viral, intranuclear, rounded particles measuring 35 nm in diameter and tubular particles with a diameter of 35-39 nm. At immunoelectron microscopy technique, positivity obtained was marked by the presence of aggregates of viral particles formed by the antigen-antibody interaction. In the immunocytochemistry technique, the antigen-antibody reaction showed colloidal gold particles evenly distributed over the surface of the virus. These results showed the importance of the transmission electron microscopy techniques in the diagnosis of bovine papillomatosis that can be used in routine procedures to identify viral agent of this important disease.
RESUMEN
Los virus del papiloma que pertenecen a la familia Papillomaviridae son pequeños virus oncogénicos que causan papilomas y fibropapilomas en epitelio cutáneo y mucoso de distintas especies de animales. En el ganado vacuno, trece tipos (BPV- 1-13) se caracterizaron hasta el momento. En este estudio, se documenta la ocurrencia de cuatro brotes de papilomatosis en los rebaños de ganado, procedentes de estados brasileños. Las lesiones papilomatosas se localizaron en los pezones, la ubre, la cabeza y el cuello. Al microscopio electrónico de transmisión, en la técnica de tinción negativa fueran visualizadas partículas del virus del papiloma redondeadas, con simetría icosaédrica, caracterizadas como "llenas" y "vacías", midiendo unos 60 nm de diámetro en todas las 40 muestras de fragmentos de lesión de piel estudiado. Los cortes ultra finos mostraron la presencia de grupos de partículas virales, intranucleares redondeadas con 35 nm de diámetro y tubulares 35-39 nm de diámetro. En la técnica de microscopía inmunoelectrónica, la positividad obtenida se caracterizó por la presencia de agregados de partículas virales formadas por la interacción antígeno-anticuerpo. En la aplicación de la técnica de inmunocitoquímica, la reacción antígeno-anticuerpo mostró partículas de oro coloidal distribuidos de manera uniforme sobre la superficie del virus. Estos resultados muestran la importancia de las técnicas de microscopía electrónica de transmisión en el diagnóstico de papilomatosis bovina, que pueden ser utilizados en los procedimientos de rutina para la identificación del agente viral causante de esta importante enfermedad.
