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 …

Of the~ 60 human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes that infect the cervicovaginal epithelium,
only 12–13 “high-risk” types are well-established as causing cervical cancer, with HPV16 …

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are a group of divergent DNA viruses, of which a select few
evolutionarily related HPVs have emerged to be highly oncogenic and of significant medical …

Persistent infection by specific oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is established as
the necessary cause of cervix cancer. DNA sequence differences between HPV genomes …

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

Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) causes cervical cancer,
accompanied by the accumulation of somatic mutations into the host genome. There are …

HPV variants from the same type can be classified into lineages and sublineages based on
the complete genome differences and the phylogenetic topologies. We examined nucleotide …

Although most cervical human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) infections become
undetectable within 1–2 years, persistent HPV16 causes half of all cervical cancers. We …

Cervical cancer is driven by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is
influenced by HPV type and intratypic variants, yet the impact of HPV type and intratypic …

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) co-evolve slowly with the human host and each HPV
genotype displays epithelial tropisms. We assessed the evolution of intra HPV genotype …
