A Review on Papillomaviruses in Domestic and Wild Felids

Munday JS. Papillomavirus in felids. Vet J 2014; 199: 340-347. Abstract.

PubMed ID (PMID): 24456796

Reprint: J. Munday

Comments: This recent review first highlights the methods to detect PVs in lesions, then nicely summarizes the clinical, pathologic and viral characteristics of papillomavirus infections of domestic (mostly) and wild cats. For the former, readers will find pertinent information on cutaneous papillomas, viral plaques, Bowenoid in situ carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), sarcoids, as well as oral papillomas and SCCs.
