Human papillomavirus molecular biology and disease association
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have evolved over millions of years to propagate themselves in a range of different animal species including humans. Viruses that have co-evolved slowly in this way typically cause chronic inapparent infections, with virion production in the absence of apparent disease. This is the case for many Beta and Gamma HPV types. The Alpha papillomavirus types have however ...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Human Papillomavirus in Pterygium
Abstract Background and Objective: Ophthalmic pterygium is a potentially vision-threatening lesion of unknown etiology that often extends on the corneal surface and has a worldwide distribution. Despite various studies, the pathogenesis of pterygium remains unclear and the involvement of human papillomavirus is controversial. We aimed to investigate the involvement of papillomavirus in pte...
متن کاملMolecular biology of human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer.
HPVs (human papillomaviruses) infect epithelial cells and cause a variety of lesions ranging from common warts/verrucas to cervical neoplasia and cancer. Over 100 different HPV types have been identified so far, with a subset of these being classified as high risk. High-risk HPV DNA is found in almost all cervical cancers (>99.7%), with HPV16 being the most prevalent type in both low-grade dise...
متن کاملHuman papillomavirus infection: etiopathogenesis, molecular biology and clinical manifestations.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a DNA virus that presents tropism for epithelial cells, causing infections of the skin and mucous membranes. Replication of HPV occurs in the nuclei of squamous cells and its life cycle is directly related to the differentiation program of the host cell. To date, nearly 100 different types of HPV have been characterized and there is a large number of other types th...
متن کاملHuman Papillomavirus: Biology and Pathogenesis
The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease in both men and women around the world, especially in developing countries, where the prevalence of asymptomatic infection varies from 2 to 44%, depending on the population and studied region (Sanjosé et al., 2007). Most HPV infection is transient and some studies show that the majority of sexually a...
