Abstract

Efficacy of autogenous vaccines prepared in 50% glycerine saline were tested in fifteen naturally infected cutaneous papillomatosis cattle. Four doses of autogenous vaccines were administered at weekly interval. Thirteen animals showed complete clinical cure at 80 days post therapy and other two animals although responded well to the therapy needed surgical excision of the large warts. Results suggest that autogenous vaccine is useful for therapeutic purposes in bovine cutaneous papillomatosis.
