Novel Alpha‐, Beta‐, and Gammaherpesviruses in Neotropical Carnivores of Brazil
The knowledge regarding infectious agents affecting wildlife is crucial for species’ conservation. We hypothesized that herpesviruses are present in wild Neotropical carnivores. Herein, we used DNA polymerase and glycoprotein B broad‐spectrum PCRs to molecularly survey the presence of herpesviruses in spleen and/or lung samples of 53 wild Neotropical ...

Herpes simplex virus hepatitis 4 years after liver transplantation [PDF]
If not promptly recognized and treated, herpes simplex virus (HSV) hepatitis is associated with a high mortality. A patient transplanted for primary sclerosing cholangitis required, 4 years later, a colectomy for a steroid-resistant flare of ulcerative ...

Tegument Assembly and Secondary Envelopment of Alphaherpesviruses. [PDF]
Alphaherpesviruses like herpes simplex virus are large DNA viruses characterized by their ability to establish lifelong latent infection in neurons. As for all herpesviruses, alphaherpesvirus virions contain a protein-rich layer called "tegument" that ...

Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) or simplexvirus humanalpha 1 is a neurotropic virus that is responsible for orofacial infections in humans. More than 70% of the world’s population may have seropositivity for HSV-1, and this virus is a leading cause of ...

A red/far-red light-responsive bi-stable toggle switch to control gene expression in mammalian cells [PDF]
Growth and differentiation of multicellular systems is orchestrated by spatially restricted gene expression programs in specialized subpopulations. The targeted manipulation of such processes by synthetic tools with high-spatiotemporal resolution could ...

Diversity in viral anti-PKR mechanisms: A remarkable case of evolutionary convergence [PDF]
Most viruses express during infection products that prevent or neutralize the effect of the host dsRNA activated protein kinase (PKR). Translation of Sindbis virus (SINV) mRNA escapes to PKR activation and eIF2 phosphorylation in infected cells by a ...

A full UL13 open reading frame in Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is dispensable for tumor formation and feather follicle tropism and cannot restore horizontal virus transmission of rRB-1B in vivo [PDF]
peer reviewedMarek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that is highly contagious in poultry. Recombinant RB-1B (rRB-1B) reconstituted from an infectious genome cloned as a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) is unable to spread ...

Recurring eczema herpeticum complicated by herpetic meningitis and staphylococcal bacteremia
Background: Eczema Herpeticum (EH) is a dermatological emergency that may progress to viral meningitis in patients not treated urgently. We present a case of recurrent EH in a young, immunocompetent patient complicated by progressing herpetic meningitis ...

Epstein-Barr virus lytic infection promotes activation of Toll-like receptor 8 innate immune response in systemic sclerosis monocytes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Monocytes/macrophages are activated in several autoimmune diseases, including systemic sclerosis (scleroderma; SSc), with increased expression of interferon (IFN)-regulatory genes and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting dysregulation of the ...
