Pregnancy and contraceptive use among women participating in an HIV prevention trial in Tanzania. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Information on pregnancy rates and factors associated with pregnancy and contraceptive use is important for clinical trials in women in sub-Saharan Africa where withdrawal of investigational products may be required in the event of pregnancy ...

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.

Characterization of a Novel Alphaherpesvirus Isolated from the Fruit Bat Pteropus lylei in Vietnam
A novel bat alphaherpesvirus, Pteropus lylei-associated alphaherpesvirus (PLAHV), was isolated from urine of the fruit bat Pteropus lylei in Vietnam. The whole-genome sequence was determined and was predicted to include 72 open reading frames in the 144 ...

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.

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).

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.
