Evolution of sexually transmitted and sexually transmissible human herpesviruses

open access: yes, 2011
Herpesviruses occur in an impressively wide range of animals and are associated with various diseases. The numerous routes taken during hundreds of millions of years of evolution have contributed to their striking adaptability and success as pathogens ...

Animal models of human herpesvirus infection

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine
Human herpesvirus, a specific group within the herpesvirus family, is responsible for a variety of human diseases. These viruses can infect humans and other vertebrates, primarily targeting the skin, mucous membranes, and neural tissues, thereby ...

Toll-like Receptor Sensing of Human Herpesvirus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2012
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are evolutionarily conserved pathogen sensors that constitute the first line of defense in the human immune system. Herpesviruses are prevalent throughout the world and cause significant disease in the human population ...

Herpesvirus and Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy in Chinese Children: An Epidemiological and Clinical Analysis

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the possible association between adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) and herpesviral infections in children, and to examine correlations between specific viral detection and clinical characteristics. Methods We enrolled 43 children aged 3–14 years with ATH (mean age 76.56 ± 25.65 months; 31 boys).

Immune evasion strategies of the human gamma-herpesviruses: Implications for viral tumorigenesis

open access: yes, 2011
Two human gamma-herpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpesvirus/human herpesvirus 8 display oncogenic potential, causing benign and malignant lymphoproliferative disorders in genetically susceptible or immunosuppressed ...

Antiviral strategies targeting herpesviruses

open access: yes, 2021
Herpesviruses, known as large DNA viruses, have a wide host range. In addition to human beings, cattle, and horses, even carp can be hosts for herpesvirus infection.

IgE‐Binding Bacterial Components Not Yet Documented in the Allergen Databases and Their Allergenic Mechanisms: An EAACI Position Paper

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among bacteria that are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of allergic/atopic diseases, several have been described to produce IgE‐binding components. However, only one bacterial protein, Bac s 1, is currently listed in the official database of the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO ...

Human Herpesviruses-encoded dUTPases: A Family of Proteins that Modulate Dendritic Cell Function and Innate Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
We have previously shown that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded dUTPase can modulate innate immune responses through the activation of TLR2 and NF-kappaB signaling. However, whether this novel immune function of the dUTPase is specific for EBV or a common

A comparative analysis of cell death signalling in RNA and DNA virus infections and potential inhibitory strategies

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...
