Pulmonary co-infections by Pneumocystis jirovecii and Herpesviridae: a seven-year retrospective study [PDF]
Background Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) is an opportunistic fungus responsible for Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in deeply immunocompromised patients and for pulmonary colonization in individuals with mild immunosuppression or impaired ...

Toll-like receptor-mediated innate immunity against herpesviridae infection: a current perspective on viral infection signaling pathways [PDF]
Background In the past decades, researchers have demonstrated the critical role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the innate immune system. They recognize viral components and trigger immune signal cascades to subsequently promote the activation of the ...

Family Herpesviridae and neuroinfections: current status and research in progress [PDF]
This article addresses the relationship between human herpesviruses (HHVs) and neuroinfections. Alphaherpesviruses, betaherpesviruses and gammaherpesviruses are neurotropic viruses that establish latency and exhibit reactivation capacity. Encephalitis and meningitis are common in cases of HHV.

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Herpesviridae 2021 [PDF]
Members of the family Herpesviridae have enveloped, spherical virions with characteristic complex structures consisting of symmetrical and non-symmetrical components. The linear, double-stranded DNA genomes of 125–241 kbp contain 70–170 genes, of which 43 have been inherited from an ancestral herpesvirus.

The evolution of protein domain repertoires: Shedding light on the origins of the Herpesviridae family [PDF]
Herpesviruses (HVs, Family: Herpesviridae) have large genomes that encode hundreds of proteins. Apart from amino acid mutations, protein domain acquisitions, duplications and losses are also common modes of evolution.

Genomewide Function Conservation and Phylogeny in the Herpesviridae [PDF]
The Herpesviridae are a large group of well-characterized double-stranded DNA viruses for which many complete genome sequences have been determined. We have extracted protein sequences from all predicted open reading frames of 19 herpesvirus genomes.
