Acceptance of an official classification for the family Papillomaviridae based purely on DNA
sequence relatedness, was achieved as late as 2003. The rate of isolation and …

One hundred eighteen papillomavirus (PV) types have been completely described, and a
yet higher number of presumed new types have been detected by preliminary data such as …

We present an expansion of the classification of the family Papillomaviridae, which now
contains 29 genera formed by 189 papillomavirus (PV) types isolated from humans (120 …

Background Infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical
cancer, but the risk associated with the various HPV types has not been adequately …

Persistent infections with carcinogenic human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause virtually all
cervical cancers. Cervical HPV types (n> 40) also represent the most common sexually …

Human papillomavirus (HPV) can be detected by amplification of viral DNA. A novel PCR
primer set generating a short PCR fragment (SPF PCR) was used for amplification of a …

Two cocktails of digoxigenin-labeled human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific
oligonucleotide probes and an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) were used as a basis to …

The identification and taxonomy of papillomaviruses has become increasingly complex,
as∼ 70 human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been described and novel HPV genomes …

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are formally described by isolation of their circular double-
stranded DNA genomes and establishment and comparison of the nucleotide sequence of …

Epidemiologic and laboratory data suggest that cervical cancer typically arises from a series
of causal steps. Each step can be studied separately in the hope of better etiologic …
