Recurring infection with ecologically distinct human papillomavirus (HPV) types explains high prevalence and diversity

2017-08-23

Abstract excerpt

The high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted infection, arises from the coexistence of over 200 genetically distinct types. Accurately predicting the impact of vaccines that target multiple types requires understanding the factors that determine HPV diversity. The diversity of many pathogens is driven by type-specific or “homologous” immunity, which promotes the spread of...
