Abstract
Papillomaviruses with the features of epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, and double-stranded DNA belong to the family Papillomaviridae, which contributes to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals. We report the whole-genome sequence of canine papillomavirus type 11 found at a pigmented plaque located on the skin of a mixed-breed bloodhound.

Papillomaviruses with the features of epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, and double-stranded DNA belong to the family Papillomaviridae, which contributes to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals
Canine papillomavirus (CPV) infections generally occur on the head, lips, and legs of young dogs [3,4,5]
The complete genome sequence revealed that CPV type 11 (CPV-11) is 7,828 bp
Summary
Papillomaviruses with the features of epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, and double-stranded DNA belong to the family Papillomaviridae, which contributes to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals. Members of the Papillomaviridae family have a genome composed of circular double-stranded DNA, with a length of about 8,000 nucleotides [1]. Papillomaviruses (PVs) give rise to a wide spectrum of cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and mucosal proliferations. Ͼ100 types have been identified in humans [1, 2].
