TL;DR: The authors of as discussed by the authors show that, typically, 20% of the host population contributes at least 80% of transmission potential, as measured by the basic reproduction number, R 0.

The cervical cancer epidemic that screening has prevented in the UK.
TL;DR: C cervical screening has prevented an epidemic that would have killed about one in 65 of all British women born since 1950 and culminated in about 6000 deaths per year in this country, at a cost per life saved of about pound 36000.

The Dynamic Topology Of Sexually Transmitted Disease Epidemics: Implications For Prevention Strategies
TL;DR: Each sexually transmitted disease (STD) epidemic evolves through predictable phases, shaped by a dynamic interplay among the pathogen, the behaviors of the subpopulations in which it emerges, and the prevention efforts that are developed to limit its impact.

Epidemiology of HPV 16 and Cervical Cancer in Finland and the Potential Impact of Vaccination: Mathematical Modelling Analyses
Ruanne V. Barnabas,Ruanne V. Barnabas,Päivi Laukkanen,Pentti Koskela,Osmo Kontula,Matti Lehtinen,Geoff P. Garnett +6 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that vaccinating 90% of young women before sexual debut has the potential to decrease HPV type-specific cervical cancer incidence, and its combination with screening further improves cancer prevention.

Oral sex and the transmission of viral STIs
Sarah J L Edwards,Chris Carne +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that HIV transmission can take place through oro-genital sex from penis to mouth and vagina to mouth, and the relative importance of oral sex as a route for the transmission of viruses is likely to increase as other, higher risk sexual practices are avoided for fear of acquiring HIV infection.
