A new study published in Virology Journal reveals that single HPV82 infection—though rare—has significant pathogenic potential, with high viral load linked to persistent infection and progression to cervical lesions. Findings support expanding HPV screening to include HPV82, leveraging quantitative PCR genotyping technologies.
A recent publication in the Journal of Public Health in Africa highlights a concerning rise in #Mpox (monkeypox) cases across several West African countries, particularly Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, and Malawi. The study identified widespread circulation of Clade II, with both Clade IIa and IIb lineages co-circulating in Liberia and Ghana.
In April 2025, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) officially released "Applying Results of Extended Genotyping to Management of Positive Cervicovaginal Human Papillomavirus Test Results: Enduring Guidelines".
On March 28, 2025, a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar's Sagaing Region, near Mandalay, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
Recently, Professor Lina Zhang and colleagues from Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital published a retrospective analysis titled "Correlation of different HPV genotype viral loads and cervical lesions: A retrospective analysis of 1585 cases" in the Journal of Cancer Cytopathol. This study aimed to explore the differences in human papillomavirus (HPV) viral loads across various cervical lesions and identify the optimal cutoff value for high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs), and to explore an effective detection method to triage HPV-positive patients and reduce unnecessary examinations and treatments.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a type of human herpesvirus, classified under the Herpesviridae family.
Recently, Seth-Frerich Fobian and colleagues published a systematic review titled "Increased human papillomavirus viral load is correlated to higher severity of cervical disease and poorer clinical outcome: A systematic review" in the Journal of Medical Virology. The findings suggest that HPV viral load is correlated to clinical outcome, and may become an important biomarker for treatment selection and response monitoring for cervical cancer.
Recently, a team led by Wang Qing and Ding Jingxin from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated with Fudan University published a study titled " Factors associated with the persistence of human papillomavirus after surgery in patients with cervical cancer". The study investigates the rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence after surgery in patients with cervical cancer and analyzes the factors associated with HPV persistence and viral load after surgery.
Every day, over 1 million adults aged 15-49 are estimated to contract one of four curable STIs
