Histologically, the most striking feature is marked irregular acanthosis with the formation of anastomosing rete ridges. Typical papillomavirus virions have been demonstrated in some cases. e. T R E A T M E N T AND PREVENTION. Formalin-inactivated autologous vaccines have been used in the treatment and prevention of papillomavirus infection in cattle and dogs.

Recommendations for biocontainment and management of the various hemorrhagic fever-inducing agents have been published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1988). h. ZOONOTIC POTENTIAL.
