Anal warts are, from an aetiological point of view, a diverse category of lesions including condylomata acuminata, fibroepithelial polyps and seborrhoeic keratosis. Human papillomavirus induced anal warts, in contrast to other types of warts, are contagious and not infrequently sexually transmitted, they therefore need to be accurately identified. A total of 24 anal warts were randomly collecte...

background: human papillomaviruses (hpvs) are the most common viruses which can be sexually transmitted. they can cause different malignancies in asymptomatic women. the association of hpvs with infertility among men and women is controversial. in the current study, the authors compared the frequency of hpvs in fertile and infertile women in the city of mashhad. materials and methods: in the pr...

background and objective: genital warts, due to specific types of the human papillomavirus, have long been regarded as one of the most important causes of cervical cancer and one of the most common cause of sexually transmited diseases (stds).  over the years, it has been the focus of several studies in order to find the best effective approach to eradicate the virus, however there are still co...

The human papillomavirus, well known as the etiologic agent of warts, has recently received much attention in the medical literature for its association with various cancers. This article discusses the virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology, clinical manifestations, and therapy for human papillomavirus infection. Some newer techniques for identifying human papillomavirus in tissue, ba...

background: vaccines capable of controlling tumor virus based infections are found difficult to develop due to the consistence latent infection in the host. dna vaccines are attractive tools for the development of hpv vaccines and inducing antigen-specific immunity owing to the stability, simplicity of delivery, safety and cost effectiveness. however, there is a need to increase their potency b...

Specific human papillomavirus genotypes are associated with most ano-genital carcinomas and a large subset of oro-pharyngeal carcinomas. Human papillomavirus DNA is thus a tumour marker that can be detected in the blood of patients for clinical monitoring. However, data concerning circulating human papillomavirus DNA in cervical cancer patients has provided little clinical value, due to insuffi...

BACKGROUND Individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have excess risk of various cancer types. However, the total burden of human papillomavirus-related cancers remains unknown. METHODS We performed a nationwide observational cohort study during 1994-2010.For each person with ESRD, we sampled 19 population controls (without ESRD) matched on age, gender and municipality. Participants wer...

background and objectives: some of the human papillomaviruses (hpvs) can infect genital tracts and are sometimes associated with anogenital tract cancers. hpvs induced cervical cancers through the expression of e6 and e7 genes by inactivating the tumor suppressor proteins. in this study, e6 and e7 genes were chosen in order to construct an expression vector which is able to express target prote...
