Abstract
Thirty cows from a pedigree Friesian dairy herd with bovine vulva papi lloma and carcinoma were treated by intralesional injections of live b acillus Calmette-Guerin (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 the rapy in this type of cancer.
