High incidence area of cattle cancer with a possible interaction between an environmental carcinogen and a papilloma virus

High incidence area of cattle cancer with a possible interaction between an environmental carcinogen and a papilloma virus

W F Jarrett et al. Nature. .

Abstract

Cattle in upland areas of Scotland and northern England are substantially more prone to alimentary cancer than those of the immediately neighbouring lowlands, and epidemiological evidence implicates a combination of papilloma virus and bracken in the aetiology of the disease. Here Professor Jarrett outlines the circumstantial case against these agents and discusses its implications.
