Progress in the research on HPV vaccination: updates from the 25th International Papillomavirus Conference in Malmo, Sweden, 2009.

摘要

The Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is one of the most important oncogenic viruses for humans. Researches on its epidemiology, pathogenic mechanisms and preventive tools had an acceleration since preventive HPV vaccines started their way towards approval by regulatory authorities. An impressive number of articles have been published in international journals in the last years, and the same can be said about presentations and posters at congresses, meetings and symposia. One of the most important yearly events where new research data are usually anticipated, is the International Papillomaviras Conference, whose 25th edition was held in Malmo, Sweden, on May 8-14, 2009. We summarise here a few particularly interesting selected studies presented at the Conference regarding Papillomavrus preventative vaccines.
