Inference of type-specific HPV transmissibility, progression and clearance rates: a mathematical modelling approach.

Quantifying rates governing the clearance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and its progression to clinical disease, together with viral transmissibility and the duration of naturally-acquired immunity, is essential in estimating the impact of vaccination programmes and screening or testing regimes. How...
