Innate Immune Evasion of Alphaherpesvirus Tegument Proteins [PDF]
Alphaherpesviruses are a large family of highly successful human and animal DNA viruses that can establish lifelong latent infection in neurons. All alphaherpesviruses have a protein-rich layer called the tegument that, connects the DNA-containing capsid

Alphaherpesvirus Subversion of Stress-Induced Translational Arrest [PDF]
In this article, we provide an overview of translational arrest in eukaryotic cells in response to stress and the tactics used specifically by alphaherpesviruses to overcome translational arrest.

Cytoskeletons in the Closet—Subversion in Alphaherpesvirus Infections [PDF]
Actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments form the cytoskeleton of vertebrate cells. Involved in maintaining cell integrity and structure, facilitating cargo and vesicle transport, remodelling surface structures and motility, the ...

Viral Immunity in Immunoglobulin Products: Global Immunity Debt and Autoimmunity in the Postpandemic Era. [PDF]
Immunoglobulin products derived from pooled global plasma reflect population‐level antiviral immunity. Analysis of batches from 2017 to 2023 reveals pandemic‐driven shifts in viral antibody profiles and a concurrent rise in autoantibodies, notably against TRIM21/Ro52, highlighting links between SARS‐CoV‐2, immunity debt, and autoimmunity.

Alphaherpesvirus Vaccines [PDF]
Prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines for the alphaherpesviruses including varicella zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 have been the focus of enormous preclinical and clinical research. A live viral vaccine for prevention of chickenpox and a subunit therapeutic vaccine to prevent zoster are highly successful.

Mammalian alphaherpesvirus miRNAs [PDF]
Mammalian alphaherpesviruses are major causes of human and veterinary disease. During productive infection, these viruses exhibit complex and robust patterns of gene expression. These viruses also form latent infections in neurons of sensory ganglia in which productive cycle gene expression is highly repressed.

Alphaherpesvirus Genomics: Past, Present and Future [PDF]
Alphaherpesviruses, as large double-stranded DNA viruses, were long considered to be genetically stable and to exist in a homogeneous state. Recently, the proliferation of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and bioinformatics analysis has expanded our understanding of herpesvirus genomes and the variations found therein.

An alphaherpesvirus exploits antimicrobial beta-defensins to initiate respiratory tract infection [PDF]
beta-Defensins protect the respiratory tract against the myriad of microbial pathogens entering the airways with each breath. However, this potentially hostile environment is known to serve as a portal of entry for herpesviruses.

An Unbiased Approach to Mapping the Signaling Network of the Pseudorabies Virus US3 Protein
The US3 serine/threonine protein kinase is conserved among the alphaherpesvirus family and represents an important virulence factor. US3 plays a role in viral nuclear egress, induces dramatic alterations of the cytoskeleton, represses apoptosis, enhances
