Emerging lines of evidence indicate that the cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) types that belong to the genus Betapapillomavirus (beta HPV) are involved in the development of nonmelanoma skin cancer. Unlike the situation for mucosal HPV types, highly sensitive and reliable methods to identify characterized cutaneous HPV types in a single assay are limited. Here, we describe a novel one-shot method for the...
