    Area of Science:

    • Bone biology and virology
    • Epidemiology of chronic diseases

    Background:

    • Paget's disease of bone is morphologically linked to paramyxovirus infection.
    • The viral source and geographic incidence variations remain unexplained.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential zoonotic origins of Paget's disease.
    • To explore the association between pet ownership and Paget's disease risk.

    Main Methods:

    • Case-control study comparing Paget's disease patients (n=50) with diabetes mellitus controls (n=50).
    • Retrospective analysis of past pet ownership, focusing on dogs, cats, and budgerigars.

    Main Results:

    • Significantly higher dog ownership reported in Paget's disease patients (odds ratios 4-8).
    • No significant difference in cat or budgerigar exposure between groups.
    • 44 Paget's patients vs. 30 controls owned dogs prior to diagnosis.

    Conclusions:

    • Canine-associated viruses, potentially canine distemper, are implicated as a possible cause of Paget's disease.
    • Further research is needed to confirm the viral agent and understand regional incidence differences.
