From MicrobeWiki, the student-edited microbiology resource

Introduction


The Human Papillomarvirus or frequently referred to as HPV currently remains the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Human papillomavirus (HPV) or the “wart virus” is a virus belonging to its own family, papillomaviridae. There are more than a 100 types of HPV and as reflected in its name, species specific for humans. There are two types, cutaneous or mucocutaneous, based upon its tissue tropism or predilection for infecting specific areas of the human body. Human papillomavirus infections are diagnosed worldwide, account for the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide, and have been associated with both cutaneous and mucocutaneous cancers prompting attempts to prevent infections using vaccines. In short, it has become a global health infection warranting every effort to control and eradicate it.
