Genus: Alphapapillomavirus
Subfamily: Firstpapillomavirinae
Genus: Alphapapillomavirus
The papillomaviruses within the subfamily Firstpapillomavirinae are associated with amniote (reptile, bird, and mammalian) hosts. These viruses contain the core viral proteins (E1, E2, L1, and L2) and at least one additional accessory protein (E5, E6 or E7).
The exemplar isolate of the single species in this genus (the only genus in the Secondpapillomavirinae) was associated with skin lesions of fish, gilt-head (sea) bream (Sparus aurata), and has the smallest papillomavirus genome known. The genome consists of the core viral proteins (E1, E2, L1, and L2).
The exemplar isolate of the single species in the single genus in the Secondpapillomavirinae was isolated from a fish and has the smallest papillomavirus genome known. The genome consists of the core viral proteins (E1, E2, L1, and L2).

The Papillomavirus Episteme (PaVE; pave.niaid.nih.gov (Van Doorslaer et al. , 2017; Van Doorslaer et al. , 2013)) provides centralized access to a special edition of the journal ‘Virology’ (Lambert PF et al. , 2013). This special edition combined expert reviews of various papillomavirus-associated topics.
