Annotation: infection: coordinate with PAPILLOMAVIRUS INFECTIONS
Scope Note: A family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses infecting birds and most mammals, especially humans. They are grouped into multiple genera, but the viruses are highly host-species specific and tissue-restricted. They are commonly divided into hundreds of papillomavirus "types", each with specific gene function and gene control regions, despite sequence homology. Human papillomaviruses are found in the genera ALPHAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; BETAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; GAMMAPAPILLOMAVIRUS; and MUPAPILLOMAVIRUS.
Entry Term(s): HPV, Human Papillomavirus Viruses; Human Papilloma Virus; Human Papillomavirus Viruses
