Features of Human Herpesvirus-6A and -6B Entry [PDF]
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a T lymphotropic herpesvirus belonging to the Betaherpesvirinae subfamily. HHV-6 was long classified into variants A and B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B); however, recently, HHV-6A and HHV-6B were reclassified as different species ...

Multiple Sclerosis and Viruses: « Liaisons Dangereuses » [PDF]
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disease with an aetiology that is still partially elusive. Several risk factors are associated with MS development including genetic predisposition and various environmental stressors; however, recently, viral infections have gained significant attention as a crucial ...

Comprehensive Viral Detection and Profiling of Plasma Cell‐Free RNA in Patients With Suspected Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe, rapidly progressive disease. While viral infection is considered a common etiology of pediatric HLH, specific causative viruses other than the Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) have been rarely identified.

A complex evolutionary relationship between HHV-6A and HHV-6B.
Human betaherpesviruses 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B) are highly prevalent in human populations. The genomes of these viruses can be stably integrated at the telomeres of human chromosomes and be vertically transmitted (inherited chromosomally integrated HHV-6, iciHHV6). We reconstructed the population structure of HHV-6 and we show that HHV-6A genomes

Associations of Inherited Chromosomally‐Integrated Human Herpesvirus 6 With Dementia Incidence, Inflammation, and Other Dementia Risk Factors in the UK Biobank [PDF]
ABSTRACT The infection theory of dementia states that viral infections and chronic inflammation play a role in its pathogenesis. We aimed to test whether testing positive for inherited chromosomally‐integrated human herpesvirus 6 (iciHHV‐6) is associated with an increased dementia incidence, inflammation, and other dementia risk factors. We included n =

HHV-6B infection, T-cell reconstitution, and graft-vs-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]
Successful and sustained CD4+ T-cell reconstitution is associated with increased survival after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but opportunistic infections may adversely affect the time and extent of immune reconstitution. Human herpesvirus 6B

Inherited chromosomally integrated (ici) human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) is estimated to occur in 0.6–2.7% of people worldwide. HHV-6 comprises two distinct species: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. Both HHV-6A and HHV-6B integration have been reported. Several drugs are
