Abstract
We report here the complete genome sequence of the first papillomavirus detected in a New World primate, howler monkey, Alouatta guariba clamitans papillomavirus 1 (AgPV1), from the Atlantic Forest in São Paulo State, Brazil.
Highlights
The Papillomaviridae family is composed of 49 genera and 316 virus species distributed in human and other animal hosts [1, 2]
With an icosahedral capsid and a conserved circular doublestranded DNA, papillomaviruses have genomes ranging from 6,953 bp in Chelonia mydas papillomavirus type 1 (CmPV1) to 8,607 bp in Canis familiaris oral papillomavirus type 1 (CPV1)
Primate papillomavirus has been described so far in Old World primates [3,4,5,6,7], but until there was one report of papillomavirus identification and lesion described in a howler monkey without complete genome description [8] and one incomplete genome description in squirrel monkey
Summary
The Papillomaviridae family is composed of 49 genera and 316 virus species distributed in human and other animal hosts [1, 2]. With an icosahedral capsid and a conserved circular doublestranded DNA, papillomaviruses have genomes ranging from 6,953 bp in Chelonia mydas papillomavirus type 1 (CmPV1) to 8,607 bp in Canis familiaris oral papillomavirus type 1 (CPV1). These viruses contain eight open reading frames (ORF), with the exception of some species that lack the E5 ORF [1].
