Genus

Genus: Etapapillomavirus

Subfamily: Firstpapillomavirinae

Genus: Etapapillomavirus

 

Distinguishing features

Members of this genus are associated with cutaneous lesions in birds. Unlike the prototypical E6 protein which contains two zinc-binding motifs, the etapapillomavirus E6 protein contains a single zinc-binding motif. These papillomaviruses contain an E9 protein of unknown function. No E8^E2 or E1^E4 proteins have been identified. 

Genus

Genus: Gammapapillomavirus

Subfamily: Firstpapillomavirinae

Genus: Gammapapillomavirus

 

Distinguishing features

Members of this genus are typically found on the skin and oral mucosa of primates. Infections are usually asymptomatic. However, some infections cause cutaneous lesions in their host and are histologically distinguishable by intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. The members of the species Gammapapillomavirus 6 do not contain an E6 ORF, but encode a putative E10 protein in the same location.
