Abstract

Whilst papillomaviruses mainly induce epithelial proliferations in man and in different animal species, the association of this group of viruses with malignant tumours has become increasingly evident. Despite the heterogeneity of human papillomavirus (HPV), only a small number are identified within carcinomas, implying a different, oncogenic potential for different HPV types.
