Amongst the human papillomaviruses (HPVs), the genus Alphapapillomavirus contains HPV
types that are uniquely pathogenic. They can be classified into species and types based on …

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 …

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes virtually all cervical cancers and many cancers at other
anatomical sites in both men and women. However, only 12 of 448 known HPV types are …

Co-evolution between host and pathogen is, in principle, a powerful determinant of the
biology and genetics of infection and disease. Yet co-evolution has proven difficult to …

Papillomaviruses (PVs) are a numerous family of small dsDNA viruses infecting virtually all
mammals. PVs cause infections without triggering a strong immune response, and natural …

Viruses belonging to the Papillomaviridae family have been isolated from a variety of
mammals, birds and non-avian reptiles. It is likely that most, if not all, amniotes carry a broad …

Double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses are often described as evolving through long-term
codivergent associations with their hosts, a pattern that is expected to be associated with low …

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are epitheliotropic viruses, with some types suggested to be
associated with skin cancer. In this study, swab samples collected from five different sites on …

Human papillomavirus (HPV) types differ profoundly in cervical carcinogenicity. For the most
carcinogenic type HPV16, variant lineages representing further evolutionary divergence …

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