“…The species-specificity of HPVs has hindered the development of mouse models, other than transgenic mice, that can reveal clues about HPV carcinogenesis (Campo, 2002;Borzacchiello et al, 2009;Gissmann and Nieto, 2009;Eckert et al, 2000;Stelzer et al, 2010;Kanodia et al, 2010). Other than MusPV Joh et al, 2011), the only PV associated with any mouse species is MmiPV1, isolated from a zoo colony of European harvest mice (Bernard et al, 2010;Sundberg et al, 1996). Although there are at least five additional rodent PVs (MnPV1, McPV2, RnPV1, MaPV1, and EdPV1;Joh et al, 2011;Bernard et al, 2010), none has been entirely satisfactory as a model system since they were isolated from wild or exotic rodent species.…”
