Human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific distribution was evaluated in genital samples collected from 654 women from the South of Italy undergoing voluntary screening and correlated with cyto-histological abnormalities. HPV DNA was detected in 45.9% of the samples, 41.7% of which had multiple infection and 89.0% had high-risk HPV infection. The prevalence of HPV infection and the rate of multiple infections decreased with age, suggesting natural selection of HPV types with better fitness. In line with other Italian studies, the most common HPV types were HPV-6 and HPV-16, followed by HPV-51, HPV-31, HPV-53, and HPV-66, in women with both normal and abnormal cytology. Cervical intraepithelial lesions grade 2 or 3 were associated with high-risk HPV-16, HPV-18, HPV-31, and HPV-51 infection. These data indicate that prophylactic HPV vaccination is expected to reduce the burden of HPV-related cervical lesions in this population, but also suggest the potential utility of new vaccines with larger type coverage.

ABSTRACTNumerous versions of human papillomavirus (HPV) therapeutic vaccines designed to treat individuals with established HPV infection, including those with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), are in development because approved prophylactic vaccines are not effective once HPV infection is established. As human papillomavirus 16 (HPV-16) is the most commonly detected type worldwide, all versions of HPV therapeutic vaccines contain HPV-16, and some also contain HPV-18. While these two HPV types are responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancer cases, there are other high-risk HPV types known to cause malignancy. Therefore, it would be of interest to assess whether these HPV therapeutic vaccines may confer cross-protection against other high-risk HPV types. Data available from a few clinical trials that enrolled subjects with CINs regardless of the HPV type(s) present demonstrated clinical responses, as measured by CIN regression, in subjects with both vaccine-matched and nonvaccine HPV types. The currently available evidence demonstrating cross-reactivity, epitope spreading, andde novoimmune stimulation as possible mechanisms of cross-protection conferred by investigational HPV therapeutic vaccines is discussed.

AbstractBackground. Cervical cancer (CC) is a major public health problem worldwide. Knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype prevalence and distribution is important for the introduction of an effective vaccination program and the corresponding epidemiological monitoring. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze the distribution of high-risk HPV genotypes.Methods. Data were collected from 136 patients for the detection of circulating HPV genotypes, where Pap test results revealed the presence of koilocytes or high risk (HR) dysplastic lesions, elements that raise the suspicion of HPV infection.Results. HPV infection was identified in 72 (55.4%) of the patients tested, 34 (47.3%) with single infection, and 38 (52.7%) with multiple infections. Twenty-two different types of HPV were identified: 14 high risk HPV types, 7 low risk HPV types, 1 probable high risk HPV type. HPV 16 was the most frequently detected (55.6%) one, it was involved in single (15 cases) and multiple (25 cases) infections, primarily associated with type 18 (12 cases), and type 52 (11 cases). The presence of HPV 18 (29.2%) and HPV 52 (23.6%) was identified after HPV type 16.Conclusions. Oncogenic HPV genotypes 16, 18, and 52 were most frequently associated in women with dysplastic lesions, which require the use of polyvalent HPV vaccines when assessing cross-protective effects of specific immunoprophylaxis programs.

Abstract Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a public health problem in Africa because of its frequency and its various consequences in both men and women. In Burkina Faso, there is little data on the carriage of HPV infection in male subjects. This study aimed to determine the carriage of HPV infection in male subjects in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted from December 2015 to September 2016. During this study period, a total of 124 male subjects who gave informed consent were recruited as part of a fertility assessment. Semen samples were analyzed by Real- Time PCR using Real TM Quant High Risk Screen HPV kit to detect 14 high-risk HPV genotypes. The Chi square test was used for comparisons.Results Of the 124 male subjects, 22 were positive for at least one high-risk HPV, with a prevalence of 17.7%. HPV 56 was the most represented genotype with a frequency of 20%, followed by HPV 39 (11%) and HPV 68 (11%), HPV 16 (8%). The genotypes HPV 18, HPV33, HPV35, HPV51 and HPV52 also had the same frequency of 6% each and the HPV 31, 45, 59 and 66 had the same frequency of 3% each. Of the 22 positive cases, 10 were multiple infections. Spermocytogram of patients showed at least one abnormality in 87.9% of cases. Necrozoospermia and oligozoospermia were the most abnormalities observed with 42% and 40% respectively followed by asthenospermia (18%); teratozoospermia (16%) and azoospermia (14%).Conclusion This study showed that like women, men are infected by HPV with a relatively high prevalence. In addition, the predominant genotypes in the male subjects of this study are not those targeted by the HPV vaccines available in our countries. Hence the need to reinforce the strategies for controlling HPV infection and HPV prophylactic vaccination for young boys.

The purpose of the study was to assess detection rates of human papillomavirus in cervical cancer cases of Nizhny Novgorod. Materials and methods. We used the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test samples of mucosa lining of the cervical canal and/or transformation zone taken from 630 women with cervical dysplasia of different degrees and 107 incident cases of cervical cancer that did not undergo treatment. The detection and differentiation of 14 genotypes of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) was carried out using the AmpliSens® HPV HCR-genotype-FRT PRC kit. Results. The overall infection rate of women with oncogenic human papillomaviruses was 41.8%. Among the genotypes, HPV 16 (39.2%), 18 (15.5%), 33 (16.6%), and 56 (11.9%) predominated. A high prevalence of oncogenic HPV was detected in the women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (58.1%) and cervical cancer (90%). The spectrum of genotypes in women with neoplasia of various degrees differed. In women with CIN II and CIN III, vaccine-preventable HPV genotypes (HPV 16 and 18) playing the leading role in the development of cervical cancer were the most frequent. The same genotypes dominated in the women with invasive cervical cancer. One oncogenic HPV genotype was usually found in the infected women (69%). The high-risk HPV infection was often combined with Ureaplasma ssp (49.3%), Mycoplasma hominis (20.1%), Cytomegalovirus (21.1%), and Herpes simplex I/II (18.2%) infections. Combinations of high-risk HPV with Chlamydia trachomatis and Herpes 6 were found in 8.3% and 5% of the cases, respectively. Conclusions. Our findings proved a wide prevalence of high carcinogenic risk HPV 16 and 18 genotypes, thus indicating the expediency of using Cervarix and Gardasil vaccines registered in the Russian Federation and containing antigens to these types of virus for specific prevention of the HPV infection.

AimThere are many scenarios where high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens is important. However, there is no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and clinically validated technique for detecting high-risk HPV in FFPE tissues. In this study, we evaluated two commercially available HPV assays which are FDA-approved for use on cytology specimens, the Aptima HPV assay and the Beckton Dickinson (BD) Onclarity assay, to detect high-risk HPV in FFPE tissues of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).MethodsA total of 189 cases (46 SCC, 107 HSIL and 36 benign/normal) were tested for high-risk HPV with the Aptima HPV assay and a subset of cases (n=97) with the BD Onclarity assay.ResultsThe sensitivities of the Aptima and BD Onclarity HPV assays were 99.4% (95% CI 96.46% to 99.98%) and 75.9% (95% CI 65.27% to 84.62%), respectively; the specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of the two assays were 100%. Negative predictive values of the Aptima and BD Onclarity HPV assays were 97.3% (95% CI 83.61% to 99.61%) and 67.7% (95% CI 58.91% to 75.47%), respectively. The kappa value (0.96) for comparison of the distribution of high-risk HPV types between the two assays was high. HPV 16 was the most common high-risk HPV type for HSIL and SCC cases. However, SCC cases had higher percentages of HPV 16 and HPV 18/45 and lower percentages of other high-risk HPV types compared with HSIL cases.ConclusionBoth assays are reliable methods for high-risk HPV detection and genotype determination in FFPE specimens, with high PPV and specificity. The Aptima HPV assay has the advantage of higher sensitivity. As far as we are aware, this is the first study comparing the Aptima HPV assay and the BD Onclarity assay in FFPE tissues. Our study results should be tested and confirmed in larger cohorts.

Cervical cancer represents a great burden to public health of women. This study aimed to obtain a nationwide genotyping survey and analysis of high risk-HPV including those that are caused by HPV types other than HPV-16 and HPV-18, among women in Kazakhstan. This study was conducted based on the collection of survey and cervical swabs of 1645 women across the country. The samples were genotyped for high-risk HPV types based on real-time PCR methods. Collected data was analyzed with the focus on high-risk HPV types other than HPV-16 and -18. Infection was present in 22% of women who participated in the study. The most prevalent types were HPV-31 among single infections and HPV-68 among multiple infections. Conclusively, despite the lack of attention high-risk HPV types beyond HPV-16 and -18 get in attempts of cervical cancer prevention in Kazakhstan, their prevalence is high and plays a large role in cervical cancer epidemiological situation.

Abstract Study question Is there any correlation between men infertility and HPV infection and its impairment on sperm quality? Summary answer There is a significantly higher prevalence of high-risk HPV in infertile men than fertile men. HPV infection does not impair sperm quality. What is known already Many factors may cause the infertility in males and females. Human papillomavirus are the most frequently sexually transmitted DNA viruses and etiological agents of cervical cancers. There is association between HPV infection in females and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as spontaneous abortion and spontaneous preterm delivery. Previous studies have reported the detection of HPV DNA in semen and in different sites of the male reproductive tract, such as glans penis and scrotum. Recent reports suggested that HPV may affect sperm parameters and lead to male infertility. The impact of HPV infection upon male fertility abnormality has received far less attention. Study design, size, duration In this study case control study we examined 38 fertile and 36 men from infertle couples. Participants/materials, setting, methods we examined the swabs of the entire penile surface and semen samples for HPV detection and genotyping from 38 fertile men and 36 from men from infertile couples.HPV were detected with PCR method. Sperm was also examined for its motility, sperm quantity and morphology . Main results and the role of chance Among 36 confirmed infertile males, only 8 (22.22%) cases were tested positive for HPV of semen samples and 2 among fertile men were HPV-positive (5.26%) of semen samples. Among infertile males 14 (38.88%) had HPV positive penile swabs, and only 1 (2,63%) had positive HPV swab among fertile men. The most prevalent HPV types in the male external genitalia were HPV–16. The most prevalent HPV types in semen were HPV–53. This data revealed a significant association between high-risk HPV and male infertility (P = 0.03). Sperm quality (morphology and motility) did not differ significantly between men with seminal HPV infection and uninfected men. Limitations, reasons for caution There were some limitations in the study such as differences in age. sample sizes and the number of HPV genotypes detected. Wider implications of the findings: We need larger studies and more further investigations to confirm the impact of HPV on male infertility. Trial registration number 2

Objective: Over 200 types of human papillomavirus (HPV) have been recognized on the basis of DNA sequence. Multiple infection is more prone to be persistent than single infection. The purpose of this study is to assess the variation of HPV types and their prevalence among negative VIA as normal population in Indonesian women. Method: We processed cervical swabs from 1,214 patients with negative VIA. HPV DNA and its genotypes were detected using PCR based INNO-Lipa HPV DNA test. We also classified whether each infection is single or multiple. Result: From 1,214 women with negative VIA, 39 (3.21%) samples were positive for HPV DNA. Among them, we detected 19 types of HPV, consisting of 13 types of high-risk HPV, 5 types of low-risk HPV, and 1 type of unknown HPV (type X). The most prevalent type was HPV type 52 (18.31%), followed by type 39 and X with the same proportion (9.86%), and HPV type 16, 18, and 74 (each 8.45%). Of the total 39 HPV-positive samples, 17 (43.6%) showed multiple-type infection and 22 (56.4%) showed single-type infection. The majority of single infection involves high-risk-HPV. The remaining were type 6, 44, 18, 51 and 66, with each single-type infection showing a prevalence of 4.54%. Conclusion: Our study shows that single HPV infection among the negative VIA population are dominated by high-risk type HPV (types 52, 39, 16, and 18). Single infection was more often encountered than multiple infection. [Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2014; 4: 211-215] Keywords: HPV DNA, HPV genotypes, multiple infection, negative VIA, single infection

ObjectiveCervical cancer is the third most frequent cancer in women, worldwide and etiologically associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV). Following the results of the first epidemiologic population-based CLEOPATRE study in Portugal, it was important to understand the HPV type-specific distribution in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades 2 and 3 and invasive cervical cancer (ICC).MethodsThis was an observational, multicenter, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection. Between January 2008 and May 2009, paraffin-embedded samples of histologically confirmed cases of CIN2, CIN3, and ICC were collected from the 5 regional health administrations in mainland Portugal. Eligible samples were sent to 2 central laboratories for histological reassessment and HPV genotyping. Prevalence estimates were calculated together with 95% confidence intervals.ResultsA total of 582 samples, 177 cases of CIN2, 341 of CIN3, and 64 of ICC, were included. The mean age of participants was 41.8 years (range, 20–88 years). The overall HPV prevalence was 97.9% with a higher prevalence of high-risk genotypes, particularly HPV 16. Multiple infections were observed in 11.2% of the cases. Human papillomavirus prevalence was 95.5% in CIN2, 99.4% in CIN3, and 96.9% in ICC. The 8 more frequent genotypes in order of decreasing frequency were HPV 16, 31, 58, 33, 51, 52, 18, and 35 in CIN2 and HPV 16, 31, 33, 58, 52, 35, 18, and 51 in CIN3. In ICC cases, the 12 detected HPV genotypes were HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, and 73. However, HPV 53 and 73 were always associated to other high-risk genotypes. Human papillomavirus types 31, 51, 52, 56, and 59 were detected in 1 case each.ConclusionsHuman papillomavirus prevalence and patterns of type-specific HPV positivity were comparable with other studies. Current HPV vaccines should protect against HPV genotypes responsible for 77.4% of ICC in Portugal.

Abstract Persistent infection by human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important factor causing cervical cancer. In recent years, infection with multiple HPV types has been confirmed in various studies. High-risk HPV 16 and 18 and low-risk HPV 6 are the most common causes of multitype HPV infection. Infection with multiple types of HPV, which results from individual susceptibility, is crucial in tumor susceptibility. This paper summarizes the common types of multiple HPV infection to enable further research on the relationship between HPV and tumor susceptibility.
