MmuPV1: A New Frontier in Animal Models of Papillomavirus Pathogenesis
2020
Animal models of viral pathogenesis are essential tools in human disease research. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a significant public health issue due to their widespread sexual transmission and oncogenic potential. Infection-based models of papillomavirus pathogenesis have been complicated by their strict species and tissue specificity. In this GEM review, we discuss the discovery of a murine papillomavirus, MmuPV1, and how its experimental use represents a major advancement in models of papillomavirus-induced pathogenesis/carcinogenesis, and their transmission.
