Type specific seroprevalence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in four geographical regions of Poland.
OBJECTIVE To examine the type specific seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) types 1 and 2 infections, stratified by age and gender, and associated risk factors for HSV-2 seropositivity in Poland. METHODS 2257 serum samples of individuals from 15-65 years were randomly selected from serum banks in four different geographical regions of Poland, including the Zachodnio-pomorskie, Warmińs...

متن کاملMutational analysis of the virion host shutoff gene (UL41) of herpes simplex virus (HSV): characterization of HSV type 1 (HSV-1)/HSV-2 chimeras.
During lytic herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections, the half-lives of host and viral mRNAs are regulated by the HSV virion host shutoff (Vhs) protein (UL41). The sequences of the UL41 polypeptides of HSV type 1 (HSV-1) strain KOS and HSV-2 strain 333 are 87% identical. In spite of this similarity, HSV-2 strains generally shut off the host more rapidly and completely than HSV-1 strains. To exami...
متن کاملWorldwide circulation of HSV-2 × HSV-1 recombinant strains
Homo sapiens harbor two distinct, medically significant species of simplexviruses, herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and HSV-2, with estimated divergence 6-8 million years ago (MYA). Unexpectedly, we found that circulating HSV-2 strains can contain HSV-1 DNA segments in three distinct genes. Using over 150 genital swabs from North and South America and Africa, we detected recombinants worldwide. Com...

HSV 2 is common human pathogen that lead to lifelong latent infection and may be associate with trans mission from mother to their fetus. The risk factors associated with HSV 2 seropositivity in pregnant women in Iraq are not known. The present study conducted to verify the prevalence of HSV 2 infect ions in women with bad obstetric history (BOH) in Kirkuk Governorate. HSV 2 seropositivity amon...
