A wide extent of inter-strain diversity in virulent and vaccine strains of alphaherpesviruses.
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Alphaherpesviruses are widespread in the human population, and include herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and 2, and varicella zoster virus (VZV). These viral pathogens cause epithelial lesions, and then infect the nervous system to cause lifelong latency ...

Latent equine herpesvirus infections in horses [PDF]
, 2008 A significant characteristic of the herpesviruses is that they form latent infections in infected hosts, and can be reactivated to again induce lytic infections by stressors.

The extraordinary evolutionary history of the reticuloendotheliosis viruses. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 The reticuloendotheliosis viruses (REVs) comprise several closely related amphotropic retroviruses isolated from birds. These viruses exhibit several highly unusual characteristics that have not so far been adequately explained, including their extremely

CD4+ and CD8+ T-Cell Skewness in Classic Kaposi Sarcoma
Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2012 It is widely accepted that a deranged immune system plays a key role in the onset and evolution of classic Kaposi sarcoma (CKS). Nevertheless, the usage of the T-cell receptor (TCR) β-variable (BV) chain repertoire expressed by peripheral blood ...

Herpesvirus telomeric repeats facilitate genomic integration into host telomeres and mobilization of viral DNA during reactivation [PDF]
, 2011 Some herpesviruses, particularly lymphotropic viruses such as Marek's disease virus (MDV) and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), integrate their DNA into host chromosomes.

Complete Genomic Sequence of an Epstein-Barr Virus-Related Herpesvirus Naturally Infecting a New World Primate: a Defining Point in the Evolution of Oncogenic Lymphocryptoviruses [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2002 ABSTRACT Callitrichine herpesvirus 3 (CalHV-3) was isolated from a B-cell lymphoma arising spontaneously in the New World primate Callithrix jacchus , the common marmoset. Partial genomic sequence analysis definitively identified CalHV-3 as a member of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-related lymphocryptovirus

The multi-factorial aetiology of urogenital carcinoma in the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) : a case-control study [PDF]
, 2014 California sea lions (CSLs) have an unusually high occurrence of urogenital cancer (UGC), with studies revealing metastatic carcinoma in 26 % of CSLs admitted to a rehabilitation centre between 1998 and 2012.
