RESUMEN
Infection of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) has been associated with mucosal and/or cutaneous tumor development in bovids. To date, up to 27 genotypes of BPVs have been identified and classified based on the nucleotide sequence identity of L1 open reading frame. In the present study, the complete sequence of a novel BPV concurrently identified with BPV1 and BPV2 in the facial cutaneous papilloma lesion of a domestic cattle was characterized. The whole genome of the unclassified BPV was 7263 base pairs in full length with GC ratio of 42.9%. In comparison with published BPV sequences, L1 nucleotide sequence of the novel BPV shared 75% identity with BPV15, and was suggested to be classified in the genus, Xipapillomavirus. According to the criteria established by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses, the novel BPV was designated as BPV type 28.

Papillomavirus (PV) mainly infects the squamous epithelium and may potentially lead to benign or even malignant cutaneous lesions. However, the malignant transforming ability has been identified in several types of PVs. In humans, papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and 18 are the most prevalent causative agents of cervical cancer. Therefore, vaccines are being developed to protect against these types. For dogs, there have been limited investigations into the association of different canine papillomavirus (CPV) genotypes with malignant lesions. Understanding the high-risk CPV genotype(s) responsible for these malignant lesions would contribute to the development of interventions for preventing CPV-induced carcinomas. In the present study, a retrospective cohort of 102 pathologically confirmed papillomas and 212 squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) were included. The viral genome and antigens in the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues were detected using PCR targeting pan PV E1 and COPV L1 genes and by immunohistochemistry staining (IHC), respectively. PVs were successfully detected from 11 FFPE cutaneous tissues and four oral tissues using pan PV E1- and COPV L1-based PCR, respectively. After sequencing, CPV 1, CPV 2, and CPV 6 were detected in the benign lesions using PCR and were confirmed through IHC. While CPV 9 and CPV 15 were first detected in the SCCs of dogs, CPV 16 was most often detected in SCC specimens. The association and confirmative demonstration of viral genes and intralesional antigens of CPV 9, CPV 15, and CPV 16 in SCCs highlight the potential risk of these genotypes of CPVs in malignant transformation.

Human norovirus is one of the major causes of foodborne gastroenteritis, and it can be easily transmitted from infected person, virus-contaminated foods and environmental surfaces. Effective disinfection method is needed to stop the transmission of human norovirus. CAC-717 is a new disinfectant consisting of calcium hydrogen carbonate mesoscopic crystals. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of CAC-717 against human norovirus. This study used human norovirus derived from fecal specimens and cultured murine norovirus, which is one of the surrogate viruses for human norovirus. The disinfection effect against murine norovirus was estimated by infectivity assay and transmission electron microscopy. The inactivation effect against human norovirus was assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Disinfection effect of CAC-717 against the infectivity of murine norovirus was shown within 100 s after the CAC-717 treatment, presenting the destruction of viral capsids. The treatment of CAC-717 significantly reduced human norovirus genomic RNA (3.25-log reduction) by the presence of the mesoscopic structure of calcium hydrogen carbonate. CAC-717 stably inactivated human norovirus in stool suspensions. The inactivation effect of CAC-717 against human norovirus was less susceptible to organic substances than sodium hypochlorite. CAC-717 would be a useful alternative for disinfecting human norovirus in contaminated environmental surfaces.

Pigmented viral plaque is most commonly seen in Pug dogs in association with canine papillomavirus (CPV). In the present study, nucleic acid sequence and localization of viral genes were examined in 4 cases of pigmented viral plaque in Pug dogs. The results of polymerase chain reaction and nucleic acid sequence analysis showed that the 3 cases with pigmented viral plaque were infected with CPV4, and 1 case with CPV18. In the case with CPV18-positive viral plaque, CPV18 gene was also detected in a lesion of cytokeratin-14- and P63-positive basal cell tumor that developed adjacent to a pigmented viral plaque. Moreover, CPV gene was detected in the squamous cells of pigmented viral plaques and the neoplastic cells of basal cell tumor by in situ hybridization. This is the first report of basal cell tumor associated with CPV18-infection in the dog. Infection of CPV18 may be associated with development of basal cell tumor.

Papillomavirus (PV) is a well-known pathogen associated with epithelial and mucosal neoplastic diseases. In contrast to human PVs, characterization of animal PVs from the aspect of anogenital neoplasm is still on a learning curve. In the present study, two vulval and one anal warts, histologically diagnosed as fibropapillomas, excised from dairy cattle were analyzed. PCR and sequencing revealed that bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) and BPV-2 were detected from anal and vulval fibropapillomas, respectively. Immunohistochemistry detected PV antigen in a few differentiated keratinocytes of one vulval case. Reverse-transcriptase PCR detected the early region, but not the late region of BPV mRNA in all three cases. The present study will provide new insight into the relationship between BPV and anogenital papilloma in cattle.

Severe papillomatosis occasionally causes astasia leading to euthanizing cattle. There are currently a limited number of reports on virologic approach in severe bovine papillomatosis. Here we report a full genome characterization of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV-1) from the case of severe papillomatosis. A calf developed numerous papillomas on the skin and some nodules in the upper gastrointestinal tract at seven months old. The skin lesion was diagnosed as the epithelial papilloma with BPV antigen expression, while the gastrointestinal lesions were diagnosed as the fibropapilloma without BPV antigen. Full genome analysis revealed that BPV-1s detected in all the lesions were exactly the same. Compared with the reference BPV-1 sequence, there was a single nucleotide insertion in the upstream regulatory region.

Association of felis catus papillomaviruses (FcaPVs) with feline squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has been reported worldwide, while there is limited information about FcaPVs in Asia. In this study, 21 feline SCC biopsy samples from cats in Japan were analyzed by PCR with PV consensus primers and type-specific primers for FcaPV type 2 (FcaPV-2), FcaPV-3 and FcaPV-4 designed in this study. Sequence analysis revealed that one sample was FcaPV-3, and two were FcaPV-4. In both FcaPV-4 positive samples, 334th tryptophan in L1 ORF was deleted compared with the reference sequence. Moreover, immunohistochemistry showed that p16 protein was positive in both FcaPV-4 detected samples. This study would contribute to the molecular epidemiological and pathological understanding of FcaPV in Japan.
