This research could bring about a revolution in the treatment of this awful disease!

I suspect that this will not be the last time mankind discovers the causative connection between a pathogen and a serious disease.

Remember the discovery of the connection between infection with Helicobacter pylori and stomach cancer. That was revolutionary at the time as doctors did not believe bacteria could survive in the extremely acid conditions in the human stomach.

The discovery that the tumorigenic HPV16 & HPV18 viruses were responsible for a substantial proportion of cervical cancer was just as revolutionary and led to the development of extremely effective vaccines targeting these viruses.
