Abstract Background The causative agent of cervical cancer referred to as Human papillomavirus (HPV) remains a real public health problem. Many countries in West Africa, such as Togo have no data on the high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) infection and genotypes distribution. In order to fill the knowledge gap in the field in Togo, the main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix and HR-HPV genotypes among Togolese women. Methods Samples were collected from 240 women by introducing a swab in the cervix. Then, the screening of precancerous cervical lesions using the visual inspection with acetic acid and lugol (VIA / VIL) was conducted. The HR-HPV genotypes were characterised by real-time multiplex PCR. Results Out of 240 women recruited, 128 (53.3%) were infected by HR-HPV. The most common genotypes were HPV 56 (22.7%), followed by HPV 51 (20.3%), HPV 31 (19.5%), HPV 52 (18.8%) and HPV 35 (17.2%). The least common genotypes were HPV 33 (2.3%) and HPV 16 (2.3%). Among the women, 1.3% (3/240) were positive to VIA/VIL. Conclusion This study allowed HR-HPV genotypes to be characterised for the first time in Lomé, Togo. This will help in mapping the HR-HPV genotypes in West Africa.

Abstract A summary of data and experience on the use of various materials of construction for the storage and handling of refined glacial acetic acid and dilute acetic acid, submitted to NACE Technical Practices Committee 5A-3 is presented. Discussion of common corrosion problems, laboratory and field corrosion test results and photographs of common types of failure are included. Aluminum alloy or austenitic stainless steel tankage is recommended for the storage of refined glacial acetic acid. Austenitic stainless steel heating coils, pumps, valves and piping are recommended for both glacial and dilute acetic acid storage systems. The corrosion risk involved in the use of aluminum for dilute acetic acid storage is emphasized and the limitations on the use of copper and copper alloys for acetic acid storage are discussed. The importance of minor contaminants and of the oxidizing or reducing nature of the environment is discussed in relation to choosing the proper materials for construction of acetic acid processing equipment. It is pointed out that the austenitic stainless steels and copper and copper alloys satisfactorily meet most of the acetic acid processing conditions though higher alloys or non metallic materials may be required occasionally. Common corrosion problems encountered in acetic acid processing and control measures for such problems are discussed. 4.4.2
