papillomavirus
Cervical cancer culprit
Papillomavirus is a type of virus that causes warts and other growths on skin and mucous membranes.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most commonly discussed variety, transmitted through sexual contact and linked to cervical and other cancers.
Most infections clear on their own, but certain strains pose serious health risks.
Vaccines now prevent the most dangerous types.
