| contents | Diversity of polyomaviruses and papillomaviruses in penguins from eastern and western Antarctica. Regney, Melanie Morandini, Virginia Schmidt, Annie E Belliure, Josabel Lescroël, Amélie Elrod, Megan Li, Amy Cox, Aidan Khor, Danny Jongsomjit, Dennis Pennycook, Jean Burnham, Christina Swanson, Nadia Winquist, Suzanne Dugger, Katie M Ainley, David G Ballard, Grant Kraberger, Simona Varsani, Arvind Animals Spheniscidae Polyomavirus Antarctic Regions Papillomaviridae Phylogeny Genome, Viral Genetic Variation Feces Polyomaviruses and papillomaviruses are icosahedral viruses with small circular dsDNA genomes. Limited information on their diversity and evolution in avian hosts is available, with even less known regarding Antarctic penguins. Prior to this study, only one polyomavirus and two papillomaviruses had been identified in Adélie penguins (). To expand our knowledge of these viruses in Antarctic penguins, we collected faecal and cloacal swab samples from 246 Adélie penguins over 3 breeding seasons (2021-2024) and 10 emperor penguins () during the 2023-2024 season on Ross Island (Ross Sea). Additionally, we sampled 66 Adélie, 40 chinstrap () and 71 gentoo () penguins during the 2022-2023 season across various sites on the Antarctic Peninsula. All samples were screened for papillomaviruses and polyomaviruses. We identified 31 polyomaviruses in Adélie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins and 4 papillomaviruses in Adélie penguins sampled in both eastern and western Antarctica. The 31 penguin polyomaviruses belong to a single species but form four distinct variants that are host species specific with strong geographic clustering. The four papillomaviruses represent three different types, of which two are new types from Adélie penguins sampled on Yalour Island in the West Antarctic Peninsula. Co-occurrence of two polyomavirus variants was identified in two individual gentoo penguins. Both of these variants appear to be circulating in gentoo penguins at Cierva Cove, Hope Bay in Trinity Peninsula along the Antarctic Peninsula, and at Hannah Point on Livingstone Island and Stranger Point on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. Here, we expand the known diversity, host and geographical ranges of penguin polyomaviruses and, together with a previously identified polyomavirus on Ross Island from 2012 to 2013, show that they form five distinct lineages. The four papillomaviruses identified in this study, together with two previously identified from Ross Island in 2012 and 2013 breeding seasons, show substantial diversity reflecting four papillomavirus types across three viral species and two distinct genera. Continued surveillance and viral genomic analysis across a larger geographical framework will help understand the evolution, transmission and incidence rates of these viruses. |
