This study reports 3 cases of spontaneous papillomavirus infection in 1-week-old calves. Thickening of the omasum and abomasum wall, with acute inflammation, necrosis, ulceration, and neoplastic changes were seen in 1 calf. In the other 2, small papillomas were observed in the omasal mucosa, exhibiting proliferation of the parakeratinized epithelium. Papillomavirus antigens were detected by immunohistochemistry and virus-like particles were seen through electron microscopy.

The immunohistochemistry technique was evaluated in tissue samples fixed in formaldehyde saline solution 10 % and included in paraffin to be used as a lab method allowing to identify leptospires in tissues. Samples obtained from the experimental inoculation of 8 guinea pigs carriers of L. interrogans Pomona isolated from a clinical case were used. The disease was reproduced in a lab model. The histologic sections of the kidneys of the animals inoculated were subjected to histopathological studies, immunofluorescence, Warthin-Starry stain, and immunohistochemistry technique using formaldehyde-fixed samples. This technique proved to be an efficient tool for the diagnosis of leptospirosis.
