Reviews
From the reviews:
“This compendium is crammed with information, from the history of how the HPV virus was identified, to the present use of therapeutic HPV vaccines. … it should be every PhD student’s bible. … policymakers may learn a lesson or two about the introduction of vaccination programmes – from the ethics associated with implementing them to the use of herd immunity in tackling lower-income populations. … this book appears to be a must for anyone working in the HPV field.” (C. Loughton, The Biologist, Vol. 60 (5), June-July, 2013)
“This hardbound edition is a multi-author book of thirteen chapters and claims to be a comprehensive summary of the available data in a multidisciplinary field. … I found this interesting book to read … . It takes into account the epidemiological and oncogenic aspects of the HPV genotypes, the complexity of the clinical spectrum, and the oncogenic potential and treatment-related difficulties associated with some types of HPV.” (Stephen Mortlock, Immunology News, February, 2013)
“This is a well-written and up-to-date account of the history of HPV, its screening, treatment, and prevention. … This is a useful book for all interested and HPV and its pathological sequelae, as well as clinicians caring for individuals with HPV infection. … This is an outstanding book that can serve as a great reference for those interested in HPV. I welcome it to my library.” (David G. Mutch, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2012)
