Abstract
The aurea of excitement about papillomavirus research is certainly due to the merger of interesting basic molecular biology and theoretical and, possibly, practical medicine. Indeed, papillomaviruses are not only most interesting model systems for cell and molecular biologists but are also considered to be etiological agents of animal and human diseases (Table 1). This will be made clear by the authors of the research papers collected in this part. They will discuss the evidence for the etiological role of papillomaviruses in the development of human cancers.
