Human Papilloma Virus

[grayfalcon89]

I think this has to be placed on the Medical Science forum but I'm not so sure on where (probably Genetics) but I want to be sure.

 

Like the title mentioned above, I have several questions.

 

I'm doing a research on the human papilloma virus. I found that this is the cause of genital warts (or veneral warts) which occurs in humans (both men and woman). For men, it occurs near penis while for women, it occurs vaginal lips, inside the vagina, on the cervix, or around the anus. This disease is afffected, or more likely transmitted, through the sexual contact. Its effect is that it causes cervical lesions and increase risk of cervical cancer. Its genus is papillomavirus and family is papillomaviridae and the virus is DNA.

 

I'm not sure when was the genital warts first identified, however. This doesn't seem to be on the texts I read and at least, since my computer is down on search engine (thanks a lot, viruses), I'm able to go to the sites that I type the URL (like this one) while I can't search say "Genital wart" on the google.

 

Can anyone help? Thanks
