An alphaherpesvirus exploits antimicrobial beta-defensins to initiate respiratory tract infection [PDF]

, 2020
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.

Risk factors for high anti-HHV-8 antibody titers (≥1:51,200) in black, HIV-1 negative South African cancer patients: a case control study [PDF]

, 2003
Background: Infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the necessary causal agent in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Infection with HIV-1, male gender and older age all increase risk for KS.

Epstein-Barr virus-positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative diseases in children and adolescents [PDF]

Precision and Future Medicine, 2018
In primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, the virus may infect T-cells or natural killer (NK)-cells and can cause T- and NK-cell (T/NK-cell) lymphoproliferative disease, which encompasses several disease entities with a broad clinicopathological ...

Multiple human herpesvirus-8 infection [PDF]

, 2003
In Malawian patients with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and their relatives, we investigated nucleotide-sequence variation in human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) subgenomic DNA, amplified from oral and blood samples by use of polymerase chain reaction.

Formation of a DNA triple helical structure at BOLF1 gene of human herpesvirus 4 (HH4) genome

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2020
Eukaryotic genomes contain a large number of pyrimidine-purine rich regions and such regions can assume varied DNA conformations, including triple-stranded structures. These structures have fascinated scientists because of their considerable therapeutic applications.

Complete genome sequence and taxonomic position of anguillid herpesvirus 1 [PDF]

, 2010
Eel herpesvirus or anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV1) frequently causes disease in freshwater eels. The complete genome sequence of AngHV1 and its taxonomic position within the family Alloherpesviridae were determined. Shotgun sequencing revealed a 249 kbp

Murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4, prototype strain MHV-68) as an important model in global research of human oncogenic gammaherpesviruses

Acta virologica, 2020
The aim of this work was to give an overview of murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4) (synonyms: murine gammaherpesvirus 68, mouse herpesvirus strain 68), the first model for the study of human and animal oncogenic gammaherpesviruses. Based on our results confirming similarity of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) to another gammaherpesvirus, human oncogenic ...

Investigation of the association between the antibody responses to neurotropic viruses and dementia outcomes in the UK Biobank.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The causes that trigger the onset of dementia are still unknown. Recently there has been an increasing interest in the possible role of infectious agents in the brain in the pathogenesis of this condition.
