  • Papillomavirus – the cause of warts and tumor growth
  • Polyomavirus

The size of the virion is between 40–60 nm

Human papilloma virus (HPV)[edit | edit source]

  • Together with other factors of the external environment, it is related to the development of cancer of the cervix uteri.
  • According to oncogenic potential, the virus is divided into two types:
    • high risk HPV (16, 18, 45, 46),
    • low risk HPV (6, 11, 42–44).
  • Transmission – through sexual contact (it does not manifest itself clinically in men).
