ORFeome-based arrays in eukaryotic expression vectors - a new approach to screen for the function of viral proteins [PDF]
Since its first description in 1994 by Yuan Chang and Patrick Moore, Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) or Human Herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) has emerged as a pathogen of international public health importance.

Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...

Human herpesvirus-6 entry into host cells
Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) belongs to the herpesvirus family and is categorized into variant A and B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B). Primary HHV-6 infection in children and its related diseases are almost exclusively caused by HHV-6B and no disease caused by HHV ...

Risk factors for high anti-HHV-8 antibody titers (≥1:51,200) in black, HIV-1 negative South African cancer patients: a case control study [PDF]
Background: Infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is the necessary causal agent in the development of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). Infection with HIV-1, male gender and older age all increase risk for KS.

Anti‐infective treatment of severe periodontitis: Hypothetical implementation
Abstract Background The primary objective of periodontology is to prevent and treat gingivitis and periodontitis to avoid tooth loss and focal infection of periodontal origin. The connection between periodontitis and serious systemic diseases underscores the need to extend periodontal healthcare to individuals across all income levels.

The core 2 beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-mucin encoded by bovine herpesvirus 4 was acquired from an ancestor of the African buffalo [PDF]
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
