Molecular and histopathological characterization was performed on cattle papillomas.
Molecular analysis revealed broad diffusion of BPV1 and 2 Deltapapillomavirus.
BPV3 and BPV9 in co-infection with BPV1 were also demonstrated in the study area.
No connections between lesion morphology and involved BPVs were demonstrated.
Phylogenetic analysis revealed presence of different viral clusters.
