Abstract
We report the complete genomic sequence of Vulpes vulpes papillomavirus type 1 (VvulPV1), isolated from the hair follicles of a red fox. VvulPV1 does not cluster with other carnivoran papillomaviruses, and is instead a sister taxon to the Gammapapillomavirus genus, thus sustaining the scenario of a biphasic evolution of papillomaviruses.
Highlights
We report the complete genomic sequence of Vulpes vulpes papillomavirus type 1 (VvulPV1), isolated from the hair follicles of a red fox
Veterinary examination showed the animal was free of rabies, echinococcosis, and trichinosis
Some hair follicles from healthy skin were collected, and the DNA extracted tested positive for the presence of a putatively novel PV [2]
Summary
We report the complete genomic sequence of Vulpes vulpes papillomavirus type 1 (VvulPV1), isolated from the hair follicles of a red fox. Papillomaviruses (PVs) are viruses with a circular, doublestranded DNA genome of 7 to 9 kb length. We have amplified, sequenced, and cloned the fulllength genome of the PV in this sample.
