151: Vaccination against bovine papillomavirus in donkeys affected by sarcoids.

The equine sarcoid is a skin tumour of horses, donkeys and mules (equids). It is the most common equine tumour and affects equids worldwide.

This project aims at the induction of sarcoid regression by vaccinating affected donkeys against BPV.
