- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the equine sarcoids disease incidence in horses in Western Canada. The study uses reference population, data analysis, and determination of the presence and type of bovine papillomavirus (BPV) in surgical biopsies of equine sarcoids diagnosed between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2007 to test for breed and gender predisposition. The result shows that equine sarcoids in the country are correlated with BPV type 2.
