Papular stomatitis is a disease caused by bovine papular stomatitis virus (BPSV), commonly seen in calves and young cattle, characterized by papular and erosive lesions on the mouth (especially the hard palate), lips, tongue, muzzle and nostrils. Less frequently, lesions may occur in the esophagus, proventriculus and udder. Transmission of the virus occurs by direct contact; no equipment or vector is needed. The morbidity rate of the disease can approach 100%. Most affected animals generally do not show obvious clinical signs and fever, and their appetites are normal. Lesions usually begin as hyperemic foci in the mouth and ventral margins of the nares. Lesions then develop into papules, followed by a regress in 1-21 days and leave yellow, red or brown spots that persist for several weeks. The disease usually heals spontaneously and it is also contagious to humans. The purpose of this review is to present a useful source of current information related to papular stomatitis.
