Abstract
Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) causes benign tumours in the mucosal and
cutaneous epithelium and is characterized by the presence of warts. The
present study includes the molecular identification of BPV strains in
samples of warts using degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
primers FAP59/64. Wart samples were collected from the cattle having
typical lesions on various parts of the body. The present study showed that
PCR amplification with the primers FAP59/64, which partially amplify the
L1 gene and showed the 470bp amplicon size, indicating BPV. The results
in this study are important for the development of prophylactic and
therapeutic measures that contribute to reducing the economic losses
associated with BPV.
