Abstract
Papillomaviruses are a large and diverse group of viruses. It includes approximately 200 fully described types that have been detected in humans. Human papilloma viruses (HPV) are etiologic agents during various, benign and malignant lesions of mucous membrane and skin epithelium. Very importantly, persistent HPV infection of certain types is a leading cause of carcinoma of uterine cervix, penis, vulva; vagina, anal canal and fauces (including tongue base and tonsils). HPV infection prophylaxis is the best means to control HPV-conditioned diseases, and vaccination, as had been demonstrated, --the most effective method of its prophylaxis. In this paper principle characteristics and clinical manifestations of papillomavirus infection, as well as effectiveness of vaccination against HPV are examined.

В то же время, Вирусы папилломы человека (ВПЧ) 2 и ВПЧ 4, которые относятся к разным родам (Альфа и Гамма, соответственно), являются причиной схожих вирусных бородавок на коже [7]
Роль инфицирования женщин ВПЧ в возникновении рака шейки матки (РШМ) была доказана в ходе ряда эпидемиологических и молекулярногенетических исследований
Summary
Papillomaviruses are a large and diverse group of viruses. It includes approximately 200 fully described types that have been detected in humans. Что персистирующая ВПЧ инфекция определенных типов является ведущей причиной рака шейки матки, полового члена, вульвы, влагалища, анального канала и ротоглотки (включая основание языка и миндалины). В то же время, ВПЧ 2 и ВПЧ 4, которые относятся к разным родам (Альфа и Гамма, соответственно), являются причиной схожих вирусных бородавок на коже [7]. Роль инфицирования женщин ВПЧ в возникновении рака шейки матки (РШМ) была доказана в ходе ряда эпидемиологических и молекулярногенетических исследований.
