Prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomaviruses in Sichuan, China

In Sichuan, the probability of women infected with HPV was very high. Due to the high infection rates of HPV-52 and HPV-58, the target of prophylactic vaccine design should include HPV-52 and HPV-58. Young and older women in Sichuan should conduct HPV testing and cervical cancer screening on a regular basis. In short, appropriate preventive care and constructing effective vaccine should be based on close monitoring of regional HPV.
