Novel Papillomaviral Sequence Detected within Epidermal Plaques in a Wolf (Canis lupus)
We describe numerous, pale plaques affecting the inguinal skin of a grey wolf (Canis lupus). Histologically, these were consistent with papillomaviral plaques. Immunohistochemistry confirmed papillomavirus antigens and partial sequencing of the L1 gene suggests this is a novel papillomavirus, most c...

Immunohistochemistry confirmed papillomavirus antigens and partial sequencing of the L1 gene suggests this is a novel papillomavirus, most closely related to Canis familiaris Papillomavirus 5. |
