| complete genomic characterization of a murine papillomavirus isolated from papillomatous lesions of a european harvest mouse (micromys minutus). | the papillomaviruses form a large group of species-specific pathogens that cause epithelial proliferations in a wide spectrum of animal hosts. previous reports demonstrated a relatively high frequency of a variety of skin lesions in captive european harvest mice. the micromys minutus papillomavirus (mmpv) was isolated from one of these lesions found on a captive european harvest mouse in a regional zoo in chicago. in this study we present the entire genomic sequence of mmpv. the mmpv genome is o ... | 2007 | 17412977 |
| complete genome and phylogenetic position of bovine papillomavirus type 7. | six bovine papillomavirus (bpv) types and 16 putative bpv types have been reported previously. here, the complete genome sequence of bapv6, a novel putative bpv type isolated from cattle in japan, was determined by using multiple-primed rolling-circle amplification. the genome consisted of 7412 bp (g+c content of 46 mol%) that encoded five early (e1, e2, e4, e6 and e7) and two late (l1 and l2) genes, but did not encode the e5 gene. the e6 protein contained a non-consensus cxxc(x)(33)cxxc and a c ... | 2007 | 17554025 |
| isolation and genomic characterization of the first norway rat (rattus norvegicus) papillomavirus and its phylogenetic position within pipapillomavirus, primarily infecting rodents. | a series of papillomavirus (pv) types have been isolated from different rodent species, and most of them belong to the genus pipapillomavirus. we isolated and sequenced the complete genome of a novel pv type (designated rnpv) from the oral cavity of the norway rat (rattus norvegicus), as well as an l1 gene fragment from hair-follicle cells of the european beaver (castor fiber). as inferred from amino acid sequence data, rnpv clustered within the beta+gamma+pi+xi-pv supertaxon as a member of the ... | 2009 | 19605590 |
