HIV Integrase Inhibitors Block Replication of Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesviruses [PDF]
The catalytic site of the HIV integrase is contained within an RNase H-like fold, and numerous drugs have been developed that bind to this site and inhibit its activity.

Enhanced Nigrostriatal Neuron-specific, Long-term Expression by Using Neural-specific Promoters in Combination with Targeted Gene Transfer by Modified Helper Virus-free HSV-1 Vector Particles [PDF]
Background: Direct gene transfer into neurons has potential for developing gene therapy treatments for specific neurological conditions, and for elucidating neuronal physiology.

The role of the neuronal microenvironment in sensory function and pain pathophysiology
In this review, we highlight the complex dynamic interactions between sensory neurons and non‐neuronal cells, including immune cells, neuronal accessory cells, adipocytes, and keratinocytes with a focus on skin, neuronal axons, dorsal root ganglia, and spinal cord.

Changes in subcellular localization reveal interactions between human cytomegalovirus terminase subunits [PDF]
BACKGROUND: During herpesvirus replication, terminase packages viral DNA into capsids. The subunits of herpes simplex virus terminase, UL15, UL28, and UL33, assemble in the cytoplasm prior to nuclear import of the complex.

Rapid taxonomic categorization of short, abundant virus sequences for ecological analyses
We sampled 1086 bats from two, adjacent Puerto Rican caves and tested them for infection by herpesviruses, resulting in 3131 short, viral sequences. Using percent identity of nucleotides and a machine learning algorithm (affinity propagation), we categorized herpesviruses into 43 operational taxonomic units (OTUs).

A Herpes Simplex Virus 2 (HSV-2) Glycoprotein D-expressing Nonreplicating Dominant-Negative HSV-2 Virus Vaccine Is Superior to a gD2 Subunit Vaccine against HSV-2 Genital Infection in Guinea Pigs [PDF]
We recently constructed a novel non-replicating dominant-negative HSV-2 recombinant viral vaccine (CJ2-gD2) capable of expressing various HSV-2 antigens that are dominant targets of HSV-2-specific CD8 T-cell response.

Abstract The capacity to remove viruses by Planova filters produced by Asahi Kasei, primarily by small virus‐retentive filters, were compiled from data in peer‐reviewed publications and, partly, publicly available data from presentations at conferences (Planova workshops).

Control of HSV-1 latency in human trigeminal ganglia—current overview [PDF]
Although recurrent Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infections are quite common in humans, little is known about the exact molecular mechanisms involved in latency and reactivation of the virus from its stronghold, the trigeminal ganglion.
