Clinically healthy skin of dogs is a potential reservoir for canine papillomaviruses

Abstract

Papillomaviruses have been linked to several skin disorders in the dog. In order to have a suitable diagnostic tool for canine papillomavirus detection, eight PCRs with published primer combinations were evaluated. The most sensitive PCR was used to demonstrate that papillomavirus DNA can be detected on nonlesional skin of dogs.
