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.

Human herpesvirus 8 infection [PDF]

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2003
Human herpesvirus 8, also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, is etiologically associated with Kaposi sarcoma and other rare malignancies. Human herpesvirus 8 infection is common in certain areas of Africa and Italy, but occurs in only 0% to 15% of adult populations in North America and Europe. Reports of human herpesvirus 8 prevalence of 3%

The prevalence of human herpesvirus 8 in normal, premalignant, and malignant cervical samples of Iranian women

Virology Journal, 2021
Background Regard to this fact that the main transmission route of HPV and HHV-8 is via sexual activity, it is reasonable to speculate that coinfection of HPV and HHV-8 may have been played an important role in the development of cervical cancer. The aim

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]

, 2007
Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Accepted Article., 2022
Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For

Short communication: NKG2C+ NK cells contribute to increases in CD16+CD56- cells in HIV type 1+ individuals with high plasma viral load. [PDF]

, 2012
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 ...

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus oncoprotein K13 protects against B cell receptor induced growth arrest and apoptosis through NF-κB activation [PDF]

, 2013
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) has been linked to the development of Kaposi's sarcoma, primary effusion lymphoma and multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD). We have characterized the role of KSHV-encoded viral FLICE inhibitory protein K13
