Abstract
Cattle in upland areas of Scotland and northern England are substantially more prone to alimentary cancer than those of the immediately neighboring lowlands, and epidemiological evidence implicates a combination of papilloma virus and bracken in the etiology of the disease. The circumstantial case against these agents and its implications were discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
