Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper of Edmund K. Hainisch  et al to be published the minor revisions:

Introduction, line 16: this is an incomplete sentence. Recently, ovine papillomaviruses have been shown to be responsible for cross-species transmission and infection (Evidence of a novel cross-species transmission by ovine papillomaviruses. Transbound Emerg Dis 2022; doi: 10.1111/tbed.14756).

Pag. 2, line 1: There are not “semi-benign” tumors, Tumors have benign or malignant biological behaviour. A semi-benign does not exist. Delete, please, “semi”

Pag 2, last two lines: This is true for cattle carcinogenesis, but activation of PDGF beta receptor has never been reported in equids.

Pag 3, line 1: this is an incomplete sentence, Recently, BPVs have been shown to shutdown the immune system via novels pathways. (see Front Immunol 2021, 12;638762; Front Immunol 2022; 13:937795). Both HVs and BPVs evade the immune system via RIG-I-receptors and cGAS/STING pathway.

Pag 3, line 16: BPV13 is now a novel deltapapillomavirus: It is not a geographical variant, Correct it, please.

Finally, in the Conclusion

Line 2: delete, please, semi from semi-benign.

Reviewer 2 Report

the review entitled (Papillomavius-like particles in Equine Medicine) discuss the infection of viruses inducing papilloma in equine and their applications in vaccinology to prevent equine sarcoids and SCC. 

The article is well-written and comprehensive, up-to-date and striking a hot and innovative subject. I am totally recommend the article for publication.
