metagenomic detection of viruses in aerosol samples from workers in animal slaughterhouses.	published studies have shown that workers in animal slaughterhouses are at a higher risk of lung cancers as compared to the general population. no specific causal agents have been identified, and exposures to several chemicals have been examined and found to be unrelated. evidence suggests a biological aetiology as the risk is highest for workers who are exposed to live animals or to biological material containing animal faeces, urine or blood. to investigate possible biological exposures in ani ...	2013	23967289
characterization of human papillomavirus type 120: a novel betapapillomavirus with tropism for multiple anatomical niches.	recent studies indicate that human papillomaviruses (hpvs) from the genera betapapillomavirus and gammapapillomavirus are abundant in the human oral cavity. we report the cloning and characterization of a 7304 bp hpv120 genome from the oral cavity that is related most closely to hpv23 (l1 orf, 83.7 % similarity), clustering it in the genus betapapillomavirus (β-pv). hpv120 contains five early and two late genes, but no e5 orf. hpv120 was detected from heterogeneous human biological niches, inclu ...	2012	22552941
