Lancaster PA Flory Mill Exit off Route 283 Phone; 717-569-7063 known as papillomatosis, are skin tumors caused by a virus known as the papova virus. Warts are generally found in young cattle (under 2 years of age) and can be found anywhere on the animals’ body, but are most often found on the head, neck, chin, shoulder, and dewlap. In order for a wart to develop, a break in the skin is necessary to allow the virus to get a foothold Hence, warts can be tran smitted from animal to animal by direct contact to abraided skin. Other means of transmission are by using contaminated tatoo equipment, dehorners, and through rectal exams Warts will generally go away spontaneously Because of this, they .will rarely be seen in cattle over 2 years of age. This disap pearance occurs because the affected cattle develop a natural immunity against the papova virus Outbreaks of warts in a herd can be prevented or kept under control by use of vaccines.

Although vaccines generate good immunity for prevention of warts, ex perimental evidence shows that once cattle have warts, vaccination does not hasten their regression In purebred show cattle, where a blemish such as a wart can be quite detrimental, the warts can be removed surgically Like most things in medicine, there is an ex ception The exception is a growth called the atypical wart which is more broad based m its growth than the regular wart. Virus particles which are very similiar to the papova virus have been found in these growths But, the atypical wart is not tran smitted with the same ease as the regular wart, nor is GOOOfTEAR \ t Goodyear Tires Distributed by P.
