Digital PCR as a tool to measure HIV persistence [PDF]
Although antiretroviral therapy is able to suppress HIV replication in infected patients, the virus persists and rebounds when treatment is stopped.

Modeling HIV persistence, the latent reservoir, and viral blips [PDF]
HIV-1 eradication from infected individuals has not been achieved with the prolonged use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The cellular reservoir for HIV-1 in resting memory CD4(+) T cells remains a major obstacle to viral elimination. The reservoir does not decay significantly over long periods of time but is able to release replication-

HIV-1 infection cannot be cured due to long-lived viral reservoirs formed by latently infected CD4+ T cells. “Shock and Kill” strategy has been considered to eliminate the viral reservoir and achieve a functional cure but the stimulation of cytotoxic ...

The pathogenesis of zoonotic viral infections: Lessons learned by studying reservoir hosts
Zoonotic viral infections that cause severe disease or even death in some people may be asymptomatic or mild in reservoir hosts. Comparison of the pathogenesis of these two host categories may potentially explain the difference in disease.

Roadblocks to translational challenges on viral pathogenesis. [PDF]
Distinct roadblocks prevent translating basic findings in viral pathogenesis into therapies and implementing potential solutions in the clinic. An ongoing partnership between the Volkswagen Foundation and Nature Medicine resulted in an interactive ...

Detectable HIV-1 in semen in individuals with very low blood viral loads
Background Several reports indicate that a portion (5–10%) of men living with HIV-1 intermittently shed HIV-1 RNA into seminal plasma while on long term effective antiretroviral therapy (ART).

CCR5 gene editing and HIV immunotherapy: current understandings, challenges, and future directions
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a major global public health challenge. Although highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART or ART) can effectively control viral replication, it fails to eradicate latent viral reservoirs and poses ...

Prediction and prevention of the next pandemic zoonosis. [PDF]
Most pandemics--eg, HIV/AIDS, severe acute respiratory syndrome, pandemic influenza--originate in animals, are caused by viruses, and are driven to emerge by ecological, behavioural, or socioeconomic changes.

Antigenic and genetic characterization of a divergent African virus, Ikoma lyssavirus [PDF]
In 2009, a novel lyssavirus (subsequently named Ikoma lyssavirus, IKOV) was detected in the brain of an African civet (Civettictis civetta) with clinical rabies in the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania.
