Bovine papillomavirus type 2 from bovine cutaneous papillomas in Australia

Abstract
SUMMARY Papillomavirus DNA was demonstrated in 10 of 12 samples extracted from cutaneous bovine papillomas and electrophoresed on agarose gels without further treatment or after concentration by freeze drying. Six of the DNA samples were treated with restriction endonucleases and 4 had restriction patterns characteristic of bovine papillomavirus type 2.
