Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of papillomaviruses
Ethel Michele De Villiers,Claude M. Fauquet,Thomas R. Broker,Hans-Ulrich Bernard,Harald zur Hausen +4 more
TL;DR: The higher-order PV taxonomy is described following the general criteria established by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), reviews the literature of the lower order taxa, lists all known "PV types", and interprets their phylogenetic relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-roads in the classification of papillomaviruses
TL;DR: The bumpy road towards achieving a classification system combined with the controversies of implementing and accepting new techniques will be summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Risk Factors for Anal Human Papillomavirus Infection in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)—Positive and High-Risk HIV-Negative Women
TL;DR: Anal HPV infection is underrecognized in HIV-positive and high-risk HIV-negative women and should be recognized, according to experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human papillomavirus life cycle: active and latent phases.
TL;DR: Evidence from immunosuppressed patients as well as individuals with recurring laryngeal papillomatosis suggest that certain HPV types can exist in a latent state, which can be a determining factor in the effectiveness of therapeutic methods for treatment of infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human papillomaviruses and cervical neoplasia: a model for carcinogenesis.
TL;DR: In conclusion, pathologic, epidemiologic, and molecular data all support a working model that accounts for the pathogenetic role of these viruses in cervical neoplasia and point to a potential change in clinical screening systems for cervical cancer.

Primer-directed enzymatic amplification of DNA with a thermostable DNA polymerase
Randall Keichi Saiki,David H. Gelfand,Susanne Stoffel,Stephen J. Scharf,Russell Higuchi,Glenn Thomas Horn,Kary B. Mullis,Henry A. Erlich +7 more
TL;DR: A thermostable DNA polymerase was used in an in vitro DNA amplification procedure, the polymerase chain reaction, which significantly improves the specificity, yield, sensitivity, and length of products that can be amplified.
Journal ArticleDOI
IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans
TL;DR: This timely monograph is a distillation of knowledge of hepatitis B, C and D, based on a review of 1000 studies by a small group of scientists, and it is concluded that hepatitis D virus cannot be classified as a human carcinogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus in Cervical Cancer: a Worldwide Perspective
Francesc Xavier Bosch,M. M. Manos,Nubia Muñoz,Mark E. Sherman,Angela M. Jansen,Julian Peto,Mark Schiffman,Victor Moreno,Robert J. Kurman,Keerti V. Shah +9 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the role of genitalHPVs, which are transmitted sexually, as the central etiologic factor in cervical cancer worldwide and suggest that most genital HPVs are associated with cancer, at least occasionally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Papillomavirus infections — a major cause of human cancers
TL;DR: Reports on the presence of HPV infections in cancers of the oral cavity, the larynx, and the esophagus further emphasize the importance of this virus group as proven and suspected human carcinogens.

The use of general primers GP5 and GP6 elongated at their 3' ends with adjacent highly conserved sequences improves human papillomavirus detection by PCR.
Ana-Maria de Roda Husman,Jan M. M. Walboomers,Adriaan J. C. van den Brule,Chris J.L.M. Meijer,Peter J.F. Snijders +4 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that the GP5+/6+ PCR method provides an increased detection level mainly of uncommon, apparently poorly matched HPV types in cervical scrapes and most likely in the enlargement of the spectrum of HPVs detectable by this assay.
