Co-Infection of Bovine Papular Stomatitis Virus, Rotavirus and Cryptosporidium Spp. In a Calf

Abstract

Concurrent occurence of bovine papular stomatitis, rotavirus infection and cryptosporidiosis was diagnosed postmortem in a 7-days-old calf from a farm containing 65 calves of different ages. Multifocal papular stomatitis and rumenitis were present on necropsy. While polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed rotavirus and papular stomatitis virus infections; bovine viral diarrhea, foot and mouth disease, bovine papilloma virus and coronavirus could not be detected. Overall; concurrent co-infection with bovine papular stomatitis virus, rotavirus and cryptosporidium spp. was reported for the first time.

Postmortalno je dijagnostikovana infekcija virusom papuloznog stomatitisa, rotavirusna infekcija kao i kriptosporidioza kod teleta starog 7 dana, na farmi sa 65 teladi različitog uzrasta. Prilikom obdukcije, uočene su multifokalne lezije karakteristične za papulozni stomatitis kao i rumenitis. Testom lančane reakcije polimeraze (PCR) dokazano je prisustvo rotavirusa i virusa izazivača papuloznog stomatitisa, pri čemu nisu dokazani virusi izazivači bovine virusne dijareje, slinavke i šapa, papilomatoze i koronavirusne infekcije. Uopšteno, ovim je po prvi put je prikazan slučaj koinfekcije virusom izazivačem papuloznog stomatitisa, rotavirusne infekcije i infekcija sa Cryptosporidium spp.
