Host and viral factors influencing heterosexual HIV transmission.
The World Health Organization estimates that 28-30 million people have been infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although many important questions remain, much has been learned regarding the biology of heterosexual HIV transmission. For example, most sexual transmission of HIV is probably mediated by cell-free virus. Langerhans cells in the vaginal epithelium and dendritic cells or...
متن کاملFactors Influencing Host-virus Interactions
A study was made of the pathogenesis of infection due to the Conn.-5 strain of Coxsackie virus in 4 to 5 day old infant mice, untreated adult mice, and adult mice treated with cortisone. The quantitative distribution of virus and the evolution of lesions in different tissues were followed for the first 7 days of the infection. Virus dissemination was prompt and widespread via the blood in all g...

The Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) provides an annual international forum for basic scientists and clinical and global health researchers to present and become current on the most recent advances in the field of HIV and AIDS research. The 18th conference contained a number of strong basic science sessions. HIV-1 infection of the cell is opposed by cellular factor...
متن کاملChapter 5: Viral and host factors in human papillomavirus persistence and progression.
Understanding the interdependent roles that host and viral factors play in cervical cancer pathogenesis is important for distinguishing women at the highest risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence and progression to cervical cancer. Ongoing research on viral factors such as viral variants is providing important clues regarding HPV oncogenesis; the comprehensive characterization of the HP...
متن کاملHost Phylogeny Determines Viral Persistence and Replication in Novel Hosts
Pathogens switching to new hosts can result in the emergence of new infectious diseases, and determining which species are likely to be sources of such host shifts is essential to understanding disease threats to both humans and wildlife. However, the factors that determine whether a pathogen can infect a novel host are poorly understood. We have examined the ability of three host-specific RNA-...
