Number of total alpha HPV types tested varied from 9 (Coutlee 1997) to 47 (Parisi 2011) although untyped genotypes were included in the prevalence estimates for several studies (Coutlee 1997, Cameron 2005, Del Mistro 2012). Cutaneous HPV types were not included in this summary.

&

Number of oncogenic types varied from 7 (Coutlee 1997) to 22 (Kreimer 2004, Marais 2008) while most considered 13-14 types to be oncogenic

Average point prevalences reported
