Novel Human Herpesvirus 8 Subtype D Strains in Vanuatu, Melanesia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We show human herpesvirus 8 with diverse molecular subtype D variants to be highly endemic among the Ni-Vanuatu population. Most K1 genes were nearly identical to Polynesian strains, although a few clustered with Australian or Taiwanese strains.

Human Herpesvirus 8-Encoded Cytokines [PDF]

Future Virology, 2010
Human herpesvirus (HHV)-8, also called Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, was discovered in 1994 and was rapidly sequenced, revealing several unique and surprising features of its genetic makeup. Among these discoveries was the identification of the first viral homolog of IL-6 and three CC/beta-chemokine ligands (viral CCL-1, -2 and -3), not ...

Activation of NIX-mediated mitophagy by an interferon regulatory factor homologue of human herpesvirus

Nature Communications, 2019
Viral control of mitochondrial quality and content has emerged as an important mechanism for counteracting the host response to virus infection. Despite the knowledge of this crucial function of some viruses, little is known about how herpesviruses ...

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]

, 2008
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Regulation of alphaherpesvirus infections by the ICP0 family of proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Immediate-early protein ICP0 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is important for the regulation of lytic and latent viral infection. Like the related proteins expressed by other alphaherpesviruses, ICP0 has a zinc-stabilized RING finger domain that ...

Is human herpesvirus 8 infection more common in men than in women? an updated meta-analysis

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Clinically, most patients with Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) are male, and several direct and indirect mechanisms may underlie this increased susceptibility in men, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), also known as human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-

Salivary Lactoferrin Is Recognized by the Human Herpesvirus-8 [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005
Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is commonly detected in all epidemiologic forms of Kaposi's sarcoma. Despite the broad cellular tropism of HHV-8, studies on mucosal shedding of HHV-8 have shown that infectious particles are restricted to saliva isolated from the oropharynx.
