Contribution of herpesvirus specific CD8 T cells to anti-viral T cell response in humans. [PDF]
Herpesviruses infect most humans. Their infections can be associated with pathological conditions and significant changes in T cell repertoire but evidences of symbiotic effects of herpesvirus latency have never been demonstrated.

Viral epidemics in a cell culture: novel high resolution data and their interpretation by a percolation theory based model [PDF]
Because of its relevance to everyday life, the spreading of viral infections has been of central interest in a variety of scientific communities involved in fighting, preventing and theoretically interpreting epidemic processes. Recent large scale observations have resulted in major discoveries concerning the overall features of the spreading process ...

Lipid Rafts of Primary Endothelial Cells Are Essential for Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus/Human Herpesvirus 8-Induced Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase and RhoA-GTPases Critical for Microtubule Dynamics and Nuclear Delivery of Viral DNA but Dispensable for Binding and Entry [PDF]
ABSTRACT Early during de novo infection of human microvascular dermal endothelial (HMVEC-d) cells, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) (human herpesvirus 8 [HHV-8]) induces the host cell's preexisting FAK, Src, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K), Rho-GTPases, Diaphanous-2 (Dia-2), Ezrin, protein kinase C-ΞΆ, extracellular signal ...

Speculations on the clinical significance of asymptomatic viral infections [PDF]
A detailed understanding of asymptomatic chronic viral infections is critical to analyse their pathogenesis, assess the severity and burden of disease and, where required, optimize public health control measures.

Virucidal Efficacy of Laser-Generated Copper Nanoparticle Coatings Against Model Coronavirus and Herpesvirus [PDF]
High-efficiency antiviral surfaces can be effective means to fight against viral diseases such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic. Copper and copper oxides, as well as their nanoparticles (Cu NPs) and coatings, are among the effective antiviral materials having internal and external biocidal effects on viruses.

In vitro evaluation of the effect of Ceftiofur Sodium and of a new Gentamycin Sulfate formulation on the viability of Marek disease virus [PDF]
The present study evaluated In vitro effect of gentamicin sulfate and ceftiofur sodium on the viability of the Marek's disease virus. The titer of cell associated turkey herpesvirus (HVT) vaccine was not appreciably reduced when incubated with 50 mg/ml of gentamicin sulfate or ceftiofur sodium.

Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]
Chronic HIV-1 infection results in the expansion of both NKG2C+ and CD16+CD56- human natural killer cells. NKG2C+ cells proliferate in response to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and expansion of the dysfunctional CD56-CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells is ...
