The widespread use of the oral poliovaccine from Sabin strains (tOPV) radically reduced poliomyelitis incidence worldwide. However, OPV became a source of neurovirulent vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs). Currently, circulating type 2 VDPVs (cVDPV2) are the leading cause of poliomyelitis.

This study describes the development and validation of a simplified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection and discrimination of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes O, A, C and Asia 1. The multiplex ELISA was designed using selected, type-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) coated onto ELISA plates as catching antibodies and a unique pan-FMDV MAb (1F10) as detector conjugate. Capture MAbs with the broadest intratypic reactivity were selected for each of the four FMDV serotypes by screening large panels of candidate MAbs with a wide spectrum of representative FMDV isolates.

Cervical cancer is driven by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is influenced by HPV type and intratypic variants, yet the impact of HPV type and intratypic variants on patient outcomes is far less understood. Here, we examined the association of cervical cancer stage and survival with HPV type, clade, lineage, and intratypic variants within the HPV E6 locus. Of 1,028 HPV-positive cases recruited through the CerGE study, 301 were in-situ and 727 were invasive cervical cancer (ICC), with an average post-diagnosis follow-up of 4.

The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway regulates cell proliferation and differentiation and its aberrant activation in cervical cancer has been described. Persistent infection with high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the most important factor for the development of this neoplasia, since E6 and E7 viral oncoproteins alter cellular processes, promoting cervical cancer development. A role of HPV-16 E6 in Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been proposed, although the participation of HPV-18 E6 has not been previously studied.

High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of cervical and other anogenital cancers as well as a subset of head and neck cancers. The E6 and E7 oncoproteins of HPV contribute to oncogenesis by associating with the tumour suppressor protein p53 and pRb, respectively. For HPV types 16 and 18, intratypic sequence variation was shown to have biological and clinical significance.
