This is the first report of the molecular epidemiology of external genital warts in women aged between 18 and 34 from Ireland based on results from a LiPA assay. The study shows that most individuals are infected with multiple genotypes including those with high oncogenic potential and that the newly available HPV vaccines could have a significant impact on prevalence of the most common HPV genotypes in this study population.

In 1890 Klein described two types of colony of the diphtheria bacillus on gelatin; one smooth and circular, the other radiating and resembling a daisy. Cowan (1927) observed two types of colony, but one of the types was thought to be due to roughening. Parker (1928) observed three types of colony, some of which were considered ordinary rough variants.
