Abstract excerpt
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) types exhibit an uneven global distribution, with types 35, 51, 56, and 59 being more prevalent in Africa yet not covered by current L1-based vaccines. The genetic diversity of HR-HPV oncoproteins in Africa remains poorly characterized, despite their potential as alternative vaccine targets. This study investigates the genetic diversity of HR-HPV types 16, 18, 35, 51, 56,...
