Papillomaviruses are small viruses able to cause disease not only in mammalians, but also in birds and reptiles. In recent years, a rising number of papillomaviruses have been identified in dogs and cats, totaling 24 canine papillomavirus (CPV) and six feline papillomavirus (FcaPV). The canine and feline papillomaviruses (CPVs and FcaPVs, respectively) are responsible for multiple lesions in these domestic spec...
nfections with certain types of papillomavirus, such as the human papillomavirus 16 (HPV16), are associated with the development of preneoplastic lesions and cancers of the anogenital, and head and neck regions. Cytinus hypocistis (L.) L. extracts are composed of substances presenting antiproliferative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which might be promising as new therapeutic comp...
Pteridium aquilinum, commonly known as bracken fern, is a versatile plant species that thrive in diverse environmental conditions and has a global distribution. However, it possesses toxic properties that can lead to various diseases in animals. The consumption of bracken fern has been associated with the development of gastrointestinal and bladder tumours, thiamine deficiency, retinal degeneration, and haemorr...
Pteridium spp. (PTE) is a plant species that is very well adapted to environmental conditions. It is used as food by animals and various human populations. Its toxic chemical composition can induce various diseases upon acute or chronic consumption. Animals infected with papillomavirus that frequently feed on PTE tend to manifest a synergistic effect on lesions associated with this virus, since PTE has an immun...

Introduction Aloysia citrodora is used in folk medicine in the preparation of infusions due to its antispasmodic, digestive, sedative, and antipyretic properties. It also has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.The present study evaluated the in vivo efficacy of aqueous extract (AE) of Aloysia citrodora in K14-HPV16 transgenic mice which HPV16 early genomic region and hence develop multiple-step epithelial...

Is Pteridium aquilinum a partner of cancer? Preliminary data from K14- HPV16 transgenic mice
Vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) helps prevent cancer caused by this virus. Determining which viral genotypes should be included is key for developing successful vaccination strategies. Low-risk genotypes, especially HPV6 and HPV11, are associated with benign warts. However, some studies also report their presence in cancers. We reviewed the scientific literature to estimate the proportion of canc...
