3D topography of the human papilloma virus capsid
From wikipedia: Like all papillomaviruses, HPVs establish productive infections only in keratinocytes of the skin or mucous membranes. While the majority of the known types of HPV cause no symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts (verrucae), while others can -- in a minority of cases -- lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, oropharynx and anus.
In addition, HPV 16 and 18 infections are strongly associated with an increased odds ratio of developing oropharyngeal (throat) cancer."
