Abstract

Thirty cows from a pedigree Friesian dairy herd with bovine vulva papilloma and carcinoma were treated by intralesional injections of live bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This treatment induced total regression of all of six carcinomas. Whilst, after treatment, limited regression was also observed in advanced papillomas, BCG has little or no effect on the early stages of papillomas. This is the first study of BCG therapy in this type of cancer.
