Metagenome-assembled genomes of papillomaviruses from mallard and northern pintail cloacal swabs.
There is little known about papillomavirus diversity in waterfowl. From cloacal swabs of one mallard and three northern pintails sampled in New Mexico (USA), we identified four papillomavirus genomes. These papillomaviruses share >92.7% genome-wide nucleotide pairwise identity with Anas platyrhynchos papillomavirus 3 (AplaPV3) identified from a mallard in Missouri (USA).
