Hi
I'm Human Papilloma Virus types 16 and 18.
I'm from family Papillomaviridae.
I am sexually transmitted.
I am linked to cervical cancer.
My types 16 and 18 cause 70% of these.
Brothers 31, 33 and 45 cause some of the rest.
People have just found a vaccine against me.
Boohoo!

They are romantic microbes, always the dreamers.
Ha ha, HPV! We have kicked your ass. My daughter never has to worry about you thanks to the vaccine!!!
And Emma Lurie... thank you for creating this blog. It truly is one of the best things on the web.
One thing I was surprised about is that when I go to the comment page and click on "original post" it doesn't show the picture of the microbe but rather shows the text "[Photo]". I have to admit that I did not realize these were actual photographs. Great job catching them in such good poses!
because it's sexually transmitted disease :P
