Hamster polyomavirus (abbreviated HaPyV or HaPV,[note 1][1] officially known as Mesocricetus auratus polyomavirus 1[2]) is an unenveloped double-stranded DNA virus of the polyomavirus family whose natural host is the hamster. It was originally described in 1967 by Arnold Graffi as a cause of epithelioma in Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus).[3][4]
