Abstract

Two restriction fragments of bovine papillomavirus type 5 (BPV5), of a genomic size of 1.6 and 1.2 kb were subcloned and sequenced. One of them seemed to correspond to the 3′ end of the E1 open reading frame (ORF) and the other to the region of the E7, E8 and 5′ end of the E1 ORF. Alignments of these fragments with other BPVs showed that BPV5 is only distantly related to the other 5 BPVs.
