The genus Pipapillomavirus originally comprised only one virus species from the family Papillomaviridae , which causes an infection with lesions of the oral mucosa in golden hamsters ( Mesocricetus auratus ) . In contrast to all other known papilloma viruses, the reading frames for the E2 protein and the capsid protein L2 overlap in the species of this genus .
A virus (Micromys minutus papillomavirus, MmPV), which was isolated from the Eurasian harvest mouse ( Micromys minutus ) , has now been added to the genus Papillomvirus .
Systematics
The systematics of the genus Pipapillomavirus has since been reorganized ( ICTV status November 2018) into species names Pipapillomavirus 1 and 2 . Only one genus was previously assigned:
