title: Evolution and classification of oncogenic human papillomavirus types and variants associated with cervical cancer.
abstract: The nomenclature of human papillomavirus (HPV) is established by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Virus (ICTV). However, the ICTV does not set standards for HPV below species levels. This chapter describes detailed genotyping methods for determining and classifying HPV variants.
