How is the canine papilloma virus transmitted?
Most often it is transmitted through direct contact with other dogs that have the canine papilloma virus but also by contact with virus from the infected environment. The incubation period is between 1-2 months. The canine papilloma virus can be transmitted only through infected dogs. The animals are not contagious to other animals or person. To become infected, the dog must have an “immature” immune system, and that primary infection occurs in newborn babies or young.
