Characterization of Papillomatous Lesions and Genetic Diversity of Bovine Papillomavirus from the Amazon Region.

ABSTRACT: Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) have been widely characterized from cutaneous warts in cattle worldwide. However, there are still limited studies addressing the geographic distribution of viral types and their potential associations with the histopathological characteristics of lesions, particularly in the vast and ecologically diverse Amazon region. This study aimed to histologically and phylogenetically characterize cutaneous papillomatous lesions in cattle from the Vale do Guaporé, located in the Brazilian Western Amazon. A total of 54 wart samples were collected from 44 cattle clinically diagnosed with cutaneous papillomatosis. Histopathological analysis classified 58.33% of cases as fibropapillomas and 39.58% as squamous papillomas. Molecular analysis, based on L1 gene amplification an
