Novel papillomaviruses identified in Malayan and Chinese pangolins
Papillomaviruses are non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses with a circular genome. Infection with these viruses can lead to several clinical symptoms ranging from subclinical, cutaneous, and mucosal warts to cancerous lesions in vertebrate hosts. A new study published in the journal Biology Letters identifies two novel lineages of papillomaviruses by mining…
