Description |
The family Papovaviridae contains two genera: papillomavirus and polyomavirus. The name ""papova"" is derived from the first two letters of each of three words: papilloma, polyoma, and vacuolating agent. All papovaviruses contain double-stranded, circular DNA that consists of 5,0008,000 base pairs. These viruses replicate solely in the nucleus of the host cell, and most are potentially oncogenic. |
