Iotapapillomavirus

Iotapapillomavirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Papillomaviridae[1]. Rodents serve as natural hosts. There are currently two species in this genus, including the type species Iotapapillomavirus 1. Diseases associated with this genus include: cutaneous lesions and benign skin tumours, such as papillomas and keratoacanthomas.[2][3]

Structure

Viruses in Iotapapillomavirus are non-enveloped, with icosahedral geometries, and T=7 symmetry. The diameter is around 60 nm. Genomes are circular, around 8kb in length.[2]

Life cycle

Viral replication is nuclear. Entry into the host cell is achieved by attachment of the viral proteins to host receptors, which mediates endocytosis. Replication follows the dsDNA bidirectional replication model. DNA-templated transcription, with some alternative splicing mechanism is the method of transcription. The virus exits the host cell by nuclear envelope breakdown. Rodents serve as the natural host. Transmission routes are contact.[2]

gollark: Do any of the registrars actually *have* that many IPs to give out still?
gollark: I'm hoping IPv6 will make that sort of thing unnecessary...
gollark: Modded servers totally need unreasonably gigantic amounts of RAM.
gollark: *Is* the container/proxy server approach actually much worse for that, though?
gollark: I don't think the average non-technical user will care much about container versus VM.
