The development of cervical cancer is ​​associated with high-risk Human papilloma viruses (HPV-HR). In sub-Saharan Africa cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and the leading cause of death attributed to malignant tumors. This study aims to identify HPV genotypes within the 30'S and 50'S HPV families found in two previous studies from our laboratory, and to determine the prevalence of twelve HPV-HR genotypes in a population of women in Ouagadougou. The twelve HPV-HR genotypes were determined by real-time multiplex PCR, in 180 samples from the general population and among a group of HIV-1 infected women. The most common genotypes found were HPV 35 (29.4%) and HPV 31 (26.1%) of the 30’S family, and HPV 52 (29.4%) and HPV 58 (20.6%) of the 50'S family. Multiple infections of HPV-HR were observed in 78.03% of infected women. The frequencies of HPV genotypes from the 30'S and 50'S families were higher, while the genotypes HPV-16 and18 were lower among the women in our study.

Abstract BackgroundIn sub-Saharan Africa, cervical cancer is increasing steadily, with more than 75,000 new cases and nearly 50,000 deaths a year (Mboumba et al., 2017). In Senegal, pathologies such as cervical cancer are at the top of the causes of death and Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the aetilogical agent (Steenbergen et al., 2005). MethodsThe aim of the study is to analyze the distribution of HPV among Senegalese women with cervical cancer. Main objectives of this study are to identify the HPV types associated or “co-associated” with cervical oncogenesis in Senegal. The correlations with risk factors of cervix carcinogenesis, with risk factors, were analyze too. Cervical biopsies were performed on women hospitalized at Aristide Hospital Le Dantec-Julio Curie Institute. Three methods has been used to detect HPV genotypes - SANGERsequencing genotyping (Applied BioSystems), PCR real-time approach technique (HPV 16 & 18 RealTime PCR kit) (www.bioneer.co.kr) and the genotyping approach from Chippron (HPV kit 3.5 LCDArray) ([email protected]). Results It this study, patients had multiple infections (co-infections) at all, and the majority of coinfections was High-risk types (HR-HPV types). The most common type of HPV in our study were 16 (34.37%), 18 (23.29%), 45 (10.75%), 33 (9.94%), 59 (9.09%), (3.97%) and 31 (3.69%). Among co-infections detected in different regions of Senegal among women with cervical cancer, we found that HPV types 16 and 18 had the highest prevalence. In the Dakar region, which had the highest number of cases, a prevalence of 17.89% of HR-HPV co-infections was noted. ConclusionPolygamy represents a cofactor in the occurrence of cervical cancer in Senegalese women. No association between HPV-High Risk co-infections and cancer stages.

Conclusion Polygamy could represent a cofactor in the occurrence of cervical cancer in Senegalese women. No association was found between high-risk HPV co-infections and cancer stages. However, an increase of our cohort would be necessary to affirm these hypotheses.

It appears that the HPV genotypes 16, 18 and 45 are the most found in tumors. The most common types of HPV in our study were HPV 16 (100%), 18 (83%), 45 (33%), 33 (31%), 59 (28%), 35 (12%), 31 (11%), 58 (8%), 39 and 73 (4%), 44, 54 and 68 (3%). In the Dakar region, which had the highest number of cases, a prevalence of 17.89% of HR-HPV co-infections was found and the majority of our patients were on a polygamous diet. Polygamy could therefore be a cofactor in the occurrence of cervical cancer in Senegalese women.Conclusion Polygamy could represent a cofactor in the occurrence of cervical cancer in Senegalese women. No association was found between high-risk HPV co-infections and cancer stages. However, an increase of our cohort would be necessary to affirm these hypotheses.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, key populations with elevated HIV-1 incidence and/or prevalence have been identified, but their contribution to disease spread remains unclear. We performed viral deep-sequence phylogenetic analyses to quantify transmission dynamics between the general population (GP), fisherfolk communities (FF), and women at high risk of infection and their clients (WHR) in central and southwestern Uganda. Between August 2014 and August 2017, 6185 HIV-1 positive individuals were enrolled in 3 GP and 10 FF communities, 3 WHR enrollment sites. A total of 2531 antiretroviral therapy (ART) naïve participants with plasma viral load >1000 copies/mL were deep-sequenced. One hundred and twenty-three transmission networks were reconstructed, including 105 phylogenetically highly supported source–recipient pairs. Only one pair involved a WHR and male participant, suggesting that improved population sampling is needed to assess empirically the role of WHR to the transmission dynamics. More transmissions were observed from the GP communities to FF communities than vice versa, with an estimated flow ratio of 1.56 (95% CrI 0.68–3.72), indicating that fishing communities on Lake Victoria are not a net source of transmission flow to neighboring communities further inland. Men contributed disproportionally to HIV-1 transmission flow regardless of age, suggesting that prevention efforts need to better aid men to engage with and stay in care.

Background High-risk human papillomavirus HPV (HR-HPV) modifies cervical cancer risk in people living with HIV, yet African populations are under-represented. We aimed to compare the frequency, multiplicity and consanguinity of HR-HPVs in HIV-negative and HIV-positive Zimbabwean women. Methods This was a cross-sectional study consisting of women with histologically confirmed cervical cancer attending Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals in Harare, Zimbabwe. Information on HIV status was also collected for comparative analysis. Genomic DNA was extracted from 258 formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue samples, and analysed for 14 HR-HPV genotypes. Data was analysed using Graphpad Prism and STATA. Results Forty-five percent of the cohort was HIV-positive, with a median age of 51 (IQR = 42–62) years. HR-HPV positivity was detected in 96% of biospecimens analysed. HPV16 (48%), was the most prevalent genotype, followed by HPV35 (26%), HPV18 (25%), HPV58 (11%) and HPV33 (10%), irrespective of HIV status. One third of the cohort harboured a single HPV infection, and HPV16 (41%), HPV18 (21%) and HPV35 (21%) were the most prevalent. HIV status did not influence the prevalence and rate of multiple HPV infections (p>0.05). We reported significant (p<0.05) consanguinity of HPV16/18 (OR = 0.3; 95% CI = 0.1–0.9), HPV16/33 (OR = 0.3; 95% CI = 0.1–1.0), HPV16/35 (OR = 3.3; 95% CI = 2.0–6.0), HPV35/51 (OR = 6.0; 95%CI = 1.8–15.0); HPV39/51 (OR = 6.4; 95% CI = 1.8–15), HPV31/52 (OR = 6.2; 95% CI = 1.8–15), HPV39/56 (OR = 11 95% CI = 8–12), HPV59/68 (OR = 8.2; 95% CI = 5.3–12.4), HPV66/68 (OR = 7; 95% CI = 2.4–13.5), independent of age and HIV status. Conclusion We found that HIV does not influence the frequency, multiplicity and consanguinity of HR-HPV in cervical cancer. For the first time, we report high prevalence of HPV35 among women with confirmed cervical cancer in Zimbabwe, providing additional evidence of HPV diversity in sub-Saharan Africa. The data obtained here probes the need for larger prospective studies to further elucidate HPV diversity and possibility of selective pressure on genotypes.

BackgroundThe Globally Relevant AIDS Vaccine Europe-Africa Trials (GREAT) partnership is an EDCTP-funded project that aims to foster collaboration between institutions in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa to build capacity among African clinical research centres (CRCs) for the design and conduct of HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trials.MethodsIn January 2017, the University of Oxford (UOXF) and five CRCs in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia were awarded a 5 year grant for capacity building and to support conduct of an HIV-1 vaccine trial in different high-risk populations across Africa using cross-clade (conserved protein regions) T-cell vaccines. UOXF and CRCs embarked on activities to strengthen capacity of the CRCs for future efficacy trials. This included training, community engagement, cohort preparation and infrastructure upgrade.ResultsIn the first year, the African investigators at the CRCs collaborated on the development of a protocol aimed at assessing the safety and immunogenicity of the tHIVconsvX vaccines. In preparation for the planned vaccine trial, infrastructure upgrades were prioritised at all partner sites and this included building laboratory space and procurement of appropriate laboratory equipment. Planned infrastructure upgrades will also ensure that high-risk populations can be safely and confidentially included in HIV prevention clinical trials. Systematic community engagement was implemented at all sites, training in GCP/GCLP was provided and training is planned for nominated CRC staff to lead community engagement efforts.ConclusionImproved infrastructure and the provision of targeted training will enhance future trials and increase the capacities of CRCs and staff to conduct quality trials in previously hard-to-reach populations. Early collaboration between investigators from European and sub-Saharan African institutions, with equal responsibilities in the protocol development process, established a meaningful partnership. EDCTP funding also offers a unique opportunity for capacity building.

Background: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer in women. High Risk HPV types are known as the main agents involved in genital and cervical malignancies. There may be co pathogens like STDs that involved in enhancing the susceptibility and progression to cervical neoplasia. This study was conducted to detect HSV2, C.Trachomatis and M.Genitalium in women with and at the risk of cervical cancer related to HPV for defining their roles in facilitating and persistence of genital disorders. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 195 Liquid Based Cytology (LBCs) specimens were collected from women referred to private laboratories. Fifty, 98 and 47 samples were from women with known cervical cancer, HPV positive and HPV negative, respectively. The HSV-2, C.trachomatis, M.genitalium and HPV genotypes have been detected using multiplex TaqMan Real Time PCR and PCR hybridization. Results: A total of 148 HPV positive samples, HPVs 6 (35.13%), 16 (32.43%), 18 (21.62%), 11 (9.46%), 31 (9.46%), and 51 (9.46%) were the most common genotypes. Single, 2, 3, and more than 4 multiple HPV genotypes were detected in 46%, 29.7%, 14.2%, 15 10.1% cases, respectively. The prevalence of M.genitalium, C.trachomatis and HSV2 was 3 (1.54%), 24 (12.3%) and 1(0.5%), respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between these pathogens and cervical cancer (p≥ 0.05). Conclusions: HR-HPV genotypes were more prevalent in genital infections and cervical cancer.

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.
