The impact of an imperfect vaccine and pap cytologyscreening on the transmission of human papillomavirus and occurrenceof associated cervical dysplasia and cancer

A mathematical model for the natural history of human papillomavirus(HPV) is designed and used to assess the impact of a hypotheticalanti-HPV vaccine and Pap cytology screening on the transmissiondynamics of HPV in a population. Rigorous qualitative analysis ofthe model reveals that it undergoes the...
