| Abstract: | A papillomavirus which we designate FPV was isolated from chaffinches (Fringilla coelebs). A physical map of the FPV genome was constructed, and selected regions of this genome were studied by nucleotide sequence analysis. The results make it possible to align the FPV genome with the genome of bovine papillomavirus type 1 and to show, moreover, that avian and mammalian papillomaviruses have a similar genome organization. |
