Descriptor Papillomaviridae
Scope note: Familia de pequeños virus ADN, sin envoltura, que afectan a los pájaros y la mayoría de los MAMÍFEROS, especialmente a los humanos. Se agrupan en múltiples géneros aunque son muy específicos respecto a la especie del huésped y el tipo de tejido al que afectan. Se dividen habitualmente en cientos de "tipos" de papilomavirus, cada uno con regiones específicas para la función y el control de los genes, a pesar de la homología de secuencias. Los virus del papiloma humano pertenecen a los géneros PAPILLOMAVIRUS, BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS, GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS y MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.

Scope note: A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
