==Morphology==
*Medium-sized, icosahedral, non-enveloped dsDNA viruses
==Virulence and Pathogenesis==
*Target actively-dividing cells
*Warts: genes expressed are associated with '''transformation''' (hyperplasia and delayed maturation)
*Virus is shed as cells exfoliate
*Oral papillomas in young animals often resolve spontaneously
==Epidemiology==
*'''Resistant''' viruses: can persist in environment for months
*Restricted to stratified squamous and mucosal epithelia with slow growth
*Usually species specific
==Types and Subtypes==
