Abstract

A mathematical model considering female and male individuals is proposed to evaluate vaccination strategies applied to control of HPV transmission in human population. The basic reproductive number of the disease, $R_0$, is given by the geometric mean of the basic reproductive number of female and male populations. The model has a globally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium whenever $R_0
