| a novel papillomavirus in adélie penguin (pygoscelis adeliae) faeces sampled at the cape crozier colony, antarctica. | papillomaviruses are epitheliotropic viruses that have circular dsdna genomes encapsidated in non-enveloped virions. they have been found to infect a variety of mammals, reptiles and birds, but so far they have not been found in amphibians. using a next-generation sequencing de novo assembly contig-informed recovery, we cloned and sanger sequenced the complete genome of a novel papillomavirus from the faecal matter of adélie penguins (pygoscelis adeliae) nesting on ross island, antarctica. the g ... | 2014 | 24686913 |
| lack of canonical e6 and e7 open reading frames in bird papillomaviruses: fringilla coelebs papillomavirus and psittacus erithacus timneh papillomavirus. | determination and analyses of the complete sequence of fringilla coelebs papillomavirus and psittacus erithacus timneh papillomavirus indicate that they represent a distinct and distant lineage of papillomaviruses. the lack of canonical e6-e7 open reading frames suggests that they serve adaptive functions during papillomavirus evolution. | 2002 | 12208979 |
| avian papillomaviruses: the parrot psittacus erithacus papillomavirus (pepv) genome has a unique organization of the early protein region and is phylogenetically related to the chaffinch papillomavirus. | an avian papillomavirus genome has been cloned from a cutaneous exophytic papilloma from an african grey parrot (psittacus erithacus). the nucleotide sequence, genome organization, and phylogenetic position of the psittacus erithacus papillomavirus (pepv) were determined. this pepv sequence represents the first complete avian papillomavirus genome defined. | 2002 | 12110158 |
| identification and characterization of fringilla coelebs papillomavirus 1 (fcpv1) in free-living and captive birds in italy. | a papillomavirus (pv) was identified by negative-staining electron microscopy in skin lesions of two bird species (fringillidae) in italy. genetic analyses revealed an fcpv1 with a low genetic variability in the e6, e7, e1, e2, and l1 genes and the long control region when compared to the fcpv1 reference strain. | 2016 | 27323237 |
| spatio-temporal dynamics and aetiology of proliferative leg skin lesions in wild british finches. | proliferative leg skin lesions have been described in wild finches in europe although there have been no large-scale studies of their aetiology or epizootiology to date. firstly, disease surveillance, utilising public reporting of observations of live wild finches was conducted in great britain (gb) and showed proliferative leg skin lesions in chaffinches (fringilla coelebs) to be widespread. seasonal variation was observed, with a peak during the winter months. secondly, pathological investigat ... | 2018 | 30305642 |
