| Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major sexually-transmitted disease that causes various cancers in females and males (including cervical cancer). Each year, 500,000 women develop cervical cancer (and about 50 percent of these women succumb to the cancer). The talk is based on the design and rigorous qualitative analysis of a new deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of HPV (and related dysplasia and cancers in females and males) in a community, in the presence of Pap cytology screening of pre-cancerous lesions for females. |
