3.8 Papillomavirdae, Polyomaviridae
Papillomavirus contigs were detected in 3/23 (13%) FPV-cases and in 0/36 the healthy controls (p=0.0545, Figure 2). The papillomavirus contigs covered sections of the E1, E2, E6, E7, L1 and L2 genes ofFelis catus papillomavirus 3 and Felis catus papillomavirus 4 . In 0/23 FPV-cases and 4/36 (11%) healthy control cat libraries, polyomavirus contigs were detected (p=0.1489). Two healthy control cats had complete polyomavirus genomes with high sequence similarity (93% nucleotide identity) to Cat associated lyon-IARC polyomavirus , isolated from a cat with diarrhoea.
