Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are considered the most common sexually transmitted diseases, with more than 450 million people worldwide infected. HPVs can cause anogenital warts and neoplasias. One prevalent cancer type caused by HPV (mostly type 16 and 18) is cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Nanotechnology tools employed in the development of vaccines and a noninvasive treatment may provide a significant advancement in the global combat against this disease.
