HPV cervical infections and serological status in vaccinated and unvaccinated women
2020, VaccineCitation Excerpt :Second, as with any public health interventions against infectious diseases, it can be jeopardised by microbial diversity. In the case of HPVs, it has been argued that certain genotypes could indirectly benefit from the niches vacated following vaccination [5,6]. Most infections by HPVs occur in young adults.
Vaccination and the evolutionary ecology of human papillomavirus
2008, VaccineCitation Excerpt :The two low-risk types 6 and 11 cause greater than 90% of genital wart cases. Vaccination against HPV thus offers the promise of reducing the global burden of cervical cancer and other HPV-related diseases [5,6]. HPV transmission is quite effective, occurring in an estimated 60% of sexual partnerships [7].
Review of current knowledge on HPV vaccination: An Appendix to the European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Cervical Cancer Screening
2007, Journal of Clinical VirologyCitation Excerpt :Type-specific persistence, defined as presence of the same HPV type at two or more consecutive visits separated by 6–12 months, is another interesting outcome measure (Lowy and Frazer, 2003). Comparing the incidence of cervical and other HPV-associated cancers in vaccinated and non-vaccinated cohorts, by linkage to cancer registries, will provide the ultimate proof of protection against cancer (Lehtinen, 2004, 2005; Lehtinen et al., 2006a,b). In anticipation of such results, estimations of the impact of HPV vaccination on the burden of cervical cancer incidence and mortality must be based on the observed surrogate endpoints using mathematical modelling (Barnabas et al., 2006; Garnett et al., 2006).
