Abstract
Different types of papillomavirus usually cause papillomas in specific tissues. Previously, bovine papillomavirus (BPV) type 10 has been associated specifically with cutaneous papillomas in cattle. In this study, BPV-10 was detected in a papilloma on the tongue of a cow. Whole genome analysis demonstrated that the sequence of this BPV-10 strain had a 129 base pair deletion in the E1 open reading frame, which was confirmed by Southern blot analysis, PCR and reverse transcriptase-PCR.
