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 ...

Seroprevalence of Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma in Iran

Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2011
Seroepidemiological surveys show that the prevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection mostly varies in various geographical areas and reflects the local incidence of classic and endemic KS, being widespread in sub-Saharan Africa and Mediterranean

Current Progress in Targeting Human Cytomegalovirus Infection

iLABMED, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in the mechanisms by which human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) maintains its genome in infected cells, as well as the cellular factors and viral antigens that modulate viral reactivation, which reveal potential targets for addressing HCMV infection.

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.

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.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
