HPV disease transmission protection and control

September 4, 2016

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) represent a large collection of viral types associated with significant clinical disease of cutaneous and mucosal epithelium. In this review we present an overview of papillomavirus biology and propose a series of questions that provide a basis for discussion of some areas of interest that continue to represent important gaps in our knowledge in the HPV research field.

Bacterial outer membrane vesicle biogenesis: a new mechanism and its implications
