• Bovine papillomaviruses (BPV) are a paraphyletic group of DNA viruses of the subfamily Firstpapillomavirinae of Papillomaviridae that are common in cattle. (wikipedia.org)
  • BPVs have been used as a model for studying papillomavirus molecular biology and for dissecting the mechanisms by which this group of viruses cause cancer. (wikipedia.org)
  • Like other papillomaviruses, BPVs are small non-enveloped viruses with an icosahedral capsid around 50-60 nm in diameter. (wikipedia.org)
  • Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of more than 120 different viruses, some of which cause cervical cancer. (immunizationinfo.org)
  • Similar papillomaviruses of ungulates (e.g. deer papillomavirus, European elk papillomavirus, ovine papillomavirus 1,2) are also found in this group. (wikipedia.org)
