Canis Familiaris Papillomavirus Type 26: A Novel Papillomavirus of Dogs and the First Canine Papillomavirus within the Genus.

Domestic dogs are currently recognized as being infected by 25 different canine papillomavirus (CPV) types classified into three genera. A short sequence from a novel CPV type was amplified, along with CPV1, from a papilloma (wart) from the mouth of a dog. The entire 7499 bp genome was amplified, and CPV26 contained putative coding regions that were predicted to produce four early proteins and two late ones.

Osteoinductive squamous cell carcinoma associated with a putative novel papillomavirus on the digit of a cat.

Case History And Clinical Findings: An approximately 10-year-old, castrated male domestic short-haired cat developed swelling and ulceration of the second digit of the right front paw. Radiographs revealed a spherical soft tissue swelling with irregular distal margins that contained multiple lacy mineral opacities. The digit was amputated and submitted for histology.

Case Report: Adrenal Epithelial Cyst in an 11-Year-Old Leptailurus Serval.

Case Description: A serval (Leptailurus serval) presented for progressive enlargement of the right adrenal gland, which had been found incidentally on abdominal ultrasound 2 years previously and upon subsequent ultrasound examinations enlarged progressively from 1.26 to 1.43 cm.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the anal sac in two cats.

This report describes two cases of feline anal sac squamous cell carcinoma. Cat 1 was managed with a multimodal approach combining surgical resection, radiation therapy and systemic therapy (toceranib phosphate; Palladia™) until local recurrence was identified at 236 days postsurgery. At that time, the cat received carboplatin.

Long-term recurrent, yet nonprogressive, pedal viral papillomas in a dog.

Viral papillomas that developed on the toe of a dog, were removed and recurred four times in two years. Despite the papillomas being 'persistent', they remained small and confined to the toe, and did not spread or progress to severe disease. Not all persistent papillomas will progress, even when these are treated using more conservative therapies.
