certain diseases. The environment plays an important role as well. Children in day care centers and in school pass infections around and then take them home and pass them to siblings and parents.

HPV has a distinct life cycle. Most viruses infect target cells and produce progeny from that same cell. However‚ HPV has to rely on the mitosis and differentiation of the basal epithelial cells to produce new virions. Understanding of the HPV lifecycle is mainly derived from research on the high-risk group of HPV viruses‚ in particular HPV 16. However‚ with slight modifications‚ life cycle models of HPV 16 can be applied to other HPV groups as well.17 The principal route of transmission for HPV
