Transmissible Venereal Tumour in Dogs

Pathogenesis and evolution o f Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumour

Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumour (CTVT) is a neoplastic disease occurring naturally in dogs. CTVT is usually sexually transmitted, but transmission may occur by licking, biting, or scratching tumour-affected areas. Cytogenetic studies directed to verify the cell transmissibility of the CTVT showed that the tumour cells are characterized by a rearranged karyotype, which is similar in tumours...

Disseminated transmissible venereal tumor in a dog.

Transmissible venereal tumor (TVT) is a well-documented transplantable tumor in dogs, with no breed or sex predilection and a low metastatic rate. In this report, a 2-year-old intact female Mastiff that had numerous, rapidly growing masses throughout the subcutis mainly at the dorsal body plane, the caudal half of the ventral abdomen, and around the vulva was euthanized due to poor prognosis. N...

Identification of Risk Factors for Canine Transmissible Venereal Tumour (CTVT) in Owned Dogs in Pakistan

A matched case-control study was conducted to investigate the risk factors for canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) in owned dogs of Lahore District, Pakistan. Ninety six laboratory-confirmed CTVT positive dogs were matched on the date of clinic visited with 96 control dogs. The univariate analysis was employed to assess the relationship between different population characteristics and t...

Evaluation of a genetic assay for canine transmissible venereal tumour diagnosis in Brazil.

The canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) is a transmissible cancer that is spread between dogs by the allogeneic transfer of living cancer cells. The infectious agents in CTVT are the living cancer cells themselves, which are transmitted between dogs during coitus. CTVT first arose several thousand years ago and the disease has a global distribution and is frequently observed in dogs fro...
