What is the pathogen that causes HPV?

Hey man! Pathogen means the microbe responsible for causing the disease. From your question, HPV, a.k.a., human papillomavirus, can cause genital warts, verrucas (warts on the sole), and some serious strains like HPV-16 and HPV-18 can cause cervical carcinoma or cervical cancer and others can cause head and neck cancer. Overall, they can cause issues in a person which can be trivial to serious depending on the strain they got infected with. This virus is an STD or a sexually transmitted disease, so it's best to use contraceptives but best to get vaccinated against it. The vaccine commonly used, I guess, is Gardisil. Consult a proper OB/Gyn about this virus and the vaccine. This may seem a lot for a simple question but I thouht to give you a basic explanationa about it! 😄
