Epidemiological studies have firmly demonstrated that human papillomaviruses (HPVs), are established causes of anogenital cancers (Schiffman,1995, Das et al, 2000, Kirwan & Herrington, 2001). HPV 16 and 18 are the most prevalent types in cervical lesions (Van den Brule et al, 1993). Low risk HPV types 6 and 11, in contrast, are mainly associated with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis and genit...
