Epstein–Barr virus reactivation influences clonal evolution in human herpesvirus‐8‐related lymphoproliferative disorders [PDF]
Histopathology, 2021 BackgroundHuman herpesvirus‐8 (HHV8) is a lymphotropic virus associated with different lymphoproliferative disorders, including primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD), diffuse large B‐cell lymphomas, not otherwise specified, and the rare entity known as germinotropic lymphoproliferative disorder (GLPD). In PELs and GLPD

Divergent Evolution of Nuclear Localization Signal Sequences in Herpesvirus Terminase Subunits [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 The tripartite terminase complex of herpesviruses assembles in the cytoplasm of infected cells and exploits the host nuclear import machinery to gain access to the nucleus, where capsid assembly and genome-packaging occur. Here we analyzed the structure and conservation of nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences previously identified in herpes ...

Human cytomegalovirus intrahost evolution—a new avenue for understanding and controlling herpesvirus infections [PDF]
Current Opinion in Virology, 2014 Abstract Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is exquisitely adapted to the human host, and much research has focused on its evolution over long timescales spanning millennia. Here, we review recent data exploring the evolution of the virus on much shorter timescales, on the order of days or months.

Divergent Antiviral Mechanisms of Two Viperin Homeologs in a Recurrent Polyploid Fish
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Polyploidy and subsequent diploidization provide genomic opportunities for evolutionary innovations and adaptation. The researches on duplicated gene evolutionary fates in recurrent polyploids have seriously lagged behind that in paleopolyploids with ...

The core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-mucin encoded by bovine herpesvirus 4 was acquired from an ancestor of the African buffalo [PDF]
, 2003 peer reviewedThe Bo17 gene of bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is the only viral gene known to date that encodes a homologue of the cellular core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-mucin type (C2GnT-M). To investigate the origin and evolution of the

Herpesviruses that Infect Fish
Viruses, 2011 Herpesviruses are host specific pathogens that are widespread among vertebrates. Genome sequence data demonstrate that most herpesviruses of fish and amphibians are grouped together (family Alloherpesviridae) and are distantly related to herpesviruses of

HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF MAREK'S DISEASE IN TURKEYS
German Journal of Veterinary Research, 2021 Mareks disease (MD), caused by a highly contagious and oncogenic herpesvirus, causes immunosuppression and tumours in chickens. Although several reports on occurring lymphomas (MD-like conditions) in turkeys were published in the past less attention has

Epidemiology and fitness effects of wood mouse herpesvirus in a natural host population [PDF]
, 2012 Rodent gammaherpesviruses have become important models for understanding human herpesvirus diseases. In particular, interactions between murid herpesvirus 4 and Mus musculus (a non-natural host species) have been extensively studied under controlled ...

Fusion of piggyBac-like transposons and herpesviruses occurs frequently in teleosts
Zoological Letters, 2018 Background Endogenous viral elements play important roles in eukaryotic evolution by giving rise to genetic novelties. Herpesviruses are a large family of DNA viruses, most of which do not have the ability to endogenize into host genomes.
