APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -papovavirus, any virus in the families Papillomaviridae and Polyomaviridae. Papovaviruses are responsible for a variety of abnormal growths in animals: warts (papillomas) in humans, dogs, and other animals; cervical cancer in women; tumours (polyomas) in mice; and vacuoles (open areas) in cells of monkeys.

Detailed explanation-2: -HPV is currently the most important papovavirus. Seventy strains of Human Papillomavirus have been identified so far. These viruses are known for their role in causing warts (both common warts and genital warts) as well as their association with cancer. Most people are infected with some strain of HPV in their lives.

Detailed explanation-3: -The human polyomaviruses BKV and JCV are known to cause, respectively, hemorrhagic cystitis in recipients of bone marrow transplantation and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in immunocompromised patients, for example, by HIV infection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the causative agents of a range of diseases of the cutaneous and mucosal epithelia. These diseases range from benign warts, for example common warts on the hands, to invasive cancers, for example cervical cancer (Table 1) [1].
