Cottontail rabbits in Shope's lab usually were infected with the virus through parasites such as rabbit ticks. [6] When infected with SPV, hosts develop papillomas on hair-bearing skin, usually around the face and neck. [6] Shope found through his research that rabbit epidermal cell transformation by SPV requires interaction with mesenchymal cells.
