Detection and quantification of bovine papillomavirus type 2 in urinary bladders and lymph nodes in cases of Bovine Enzootic Hematuria from the endemic region of Azores
چکیده انگلیسی


- A new BPV2 reliable quantitative PCR assay is proposed.
- The assay proved to be highly sensitive and specific.
- BPV2 DNA was detected in different bovine tissue samples.
- Viral genome copy numbers differ substantially between different tissues.

Bovine Enzootic Hematuria (BEH) is a disease with a severe impact on production indexes and characterized by the development of bovine urinary bladder tumors, particularly in the Azores archipelago. The purpose of this study was to investigate and quantify BPV2 tissue distribution in bovine urinary bladder tumors, normal bladders, and iliac lymph nodes of cattle from the Azores. A real-time PCR system targeting the L1 gene was developed and allowed for the specific detection of the virus. BPV2 DNA was detected in a large proportion of the samples tested, both from neoplastic and healthy tissues, indicating that this virus is very prevalent in the bovine population of the Azores. Moreover, all types of tissues tested were positive, confirming a wide viral distribution within the infected animal. Bovine cutaneous papillomas sampled from Portuguese mainland dairy cattle were used as controls. Viral load ranged between 2.2 × 104 copies/cell in the skin papillomas, and 0.0002 copies/cell in the urinary bladders tumors from the Azores. This is the first report presenting quantitative data on BPV2 infection in bovine urinary bladder lesions from the Azores. This approach will provide a useful tool to evaluate the role of BPV2 not only in the pathogenesis BEH but also in cell transformation mechanisms.
