Anogenital-Associated Papillomaviruses in Animals: Focusing on Bos taurus Papillomaviruses.

ABSTRACT: In contrast to the diverse studies on human papillomaviruses (HPVs), information on animal PVs associated with anogenital lesions is limited. In the animal kingdom, papillomas occur more commonly in cattle than in any other animals, and diverse types of Bos taurus papillomaviruses (BPVs) exist, including the very recently discovered BPV type 29 (BPV29). From this perspective, we will review previous studies describing PV types associated with anogenitals in animals, with a focus on BPVs. To date, two classical BPV types, classified into Deltapapillomavirus (BPV1 and BPV2) and Dyokappapapillomavirus (BPV22), and two novel Xipapillomaviruses (BPV28 and BPV29) have been identified from anogenital lesions and tissues of the domestic cow. Due to the limited reports d
