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.

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.

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.

Primary isolated osteoma cutis causing eyelid deformation and strabismus in a dog.

Osteoma cutis describes bone formation in skin and is well documented in the medical literature, but veterinary reports are few. We report a single case of a juvenile samoyed that was referred for assessment of a superior eyelid anomaly. Exploratory surgery and histopathology revealed the presence of mature, lamellar bone within the superior eyelid.

Progressive alopecia associated with hypoparathyroidism in a Jersey heifer.

Background: Chronic progressive generalized alopecia in dairy cattle has been anecdotally discussed in veterinary forums.

Objective: To describe subclinical changes in an otherwise apparently healthy animal with chronic progressive generalized alopecia.

Animals: One 10-month-old Jersey heifer.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation in two adult alpacas (Vicugna pacos).

Two cases of pulmonary vascular anomaly in unrelated adult alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are described. In the first case, a 9-year-old intact male alpaca presented at Oregon State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital with bilateral epistaxis and died the subsequent day following severe hemorrhage from the mouth and nostrils. At necropsy, a tortuous vascular lesion was identified in the right cranial lung lobe, associated with hemorrhage into airways.
