Introduction

The case report that this clinical commentary accompanies (Vichi et al. 2022) describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 2-year-old horse with cutaneous papillomatosis lesions, attributed to Equus caballus papillomavirus 2 (EcPV2) infection, and concurrent cutaneous habronemiasis. The additional pathology caused by the presence of Habronematidae larvae necessitated surgical removal of the lesions. Without this coinfection, the papillomavirus infection and lesions could have progressed in several ways.

The number of known papillomaviruses is increasing for many species, including equids, as is the range of pathologies in which they are implicated. This article summarises known presentations of papillomavirus-associated infections in equids and outlines the underlying host-viral biology.

马科动物乳头瘤病毒：十年的发现以及更多的发现？

介绍

伴随本临床评论的病例报告 (Vichi et al . 2022 ) 描述了患有皮肤乳头状瘤病病变的 2 岁马的诊断和治疗，该病灶归因于Equus caballus papillomavirus 2 (EcPV2) 感染和并发的皮肤缺氧症。由 Habronematidae 幼虫的存在引起的额外病理学需要手术切除病变。如果没有这种合并感染，乳头瘤病毒感染和病变可能会以多种方式发展。

许多物种（包括马科动物）的已知乳头瘤病毒数量正在增加，它们所涉及的病理范围也在增加。本文总结了已知的马科动物乳头瘤病毒相关感染的表现，并概述了潜在的宿主病毒生物学。
