Bovine papillomavirus 24: a novel member of the genusXipapillomavirus detected in the Amazon region

Abstract

AbstractBovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) have been described as etiologic agents of cutaneous and mucosal papillomas in cattle.In the present study, we describe a new BPV that was detected in a cutaneous papilloma from a cow. Phylogenetic analysissuggests that this virus belong to the genus Xipapillomavirus, and we refer to it here as BPV type 24 (BPV24). Coinfectionwith members of the genera Epsilonpapillomavirus and Deltapapillomavirus in a cutaneous papilloma from a different animalwas also detected, and the full genomes of these viruses were sequenced. Both papillomas were from cattle within AcreState in the Amazon region of Brazil. The data presented here demonstrate the utility of using high-throughput methods toindentify coinfections and allow the characterization of new genomes
