Abstract
Papillomaviruses, of the family Papillomaviridae, are epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, double-stranded DNA viruses that contribute to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals. We report here the whole-genome sequence of canine papillomavirus type 12, found at a pigmented plaque located on the skin of a mixed-breed bloodhound.

Papillomaviruses, of the family Papillomaviridae, are epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, double-stranded DNA viruses that contribute to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals
Papillomavirus (PV) infections are widespread in nature and occur in most mammalian species, as well as in birds and turtles [2]
PV infections in immunosuppressed dogs have been noted to progress to aggressive squamous cell carcinomas
Summary
Papillomaviruses, of the family Papillomaviridae, are epitheliotropic, nonenveloped, circular, double-stranded DNA viruses that contribute to benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals. Papillomaviruses are nonenveloped double-stranded DNA viruses that are associated with both benign and malignant tumors in humans and animals. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause cancers in the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx. HPV infections caused 5.2% of all cancers worldwide in 2002 [1].
