Abstract Cutaneous lesions were observed in a wild population of freshwater turtles during routine disease surveillance at Alligator Creek, Townsville, Australia. Previous attempts to identify the causative agent these unsuccessful; however, existing evidence suggests viral etiology. To further investigate events, blood samples and lesion, oral cloacal swabs collected from 128 two locations (Al...

An infection with Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), officially and by convention now called EQUID Herpesvirus, is the cause for Equine herpesvirus-associated Myeloencephalopathy or EHM. In 2008 the USDA declared this syndrome an ‘emerging disease’ among horse populations in the U.S.A., which indicates that EHM is perceived as an expanding problem that is observed more frequently when compared ...

We performed a case-series analysis of reactivation of herpesvirus in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents. We collected data from 576 patients with HCV infection treated with DAA combinations at 3 hospitals in Spain, from November 2014 through November 2015. We also collected data from a control population (230 HCV-infected patients,...

Aim: To characterize one of the major glycoprotein genes viz., glycoprotein C (gC; UL44, unique long region 44) of bovine herpesvirus 1(BoHV1) of Indian origin at genetic and phylogenetic level. Materials and Methods: A bovine herpesvirus 1 isolate viz., (BoHV1/IBR 216 II/ 1976/ India) maintained at Division of Virology, IVRI, Mukteswar was used for the current study. The DNA was extracted usin...

ME/CFS patients have ...

The well-described herpesvirus entry receptors HveA (TNFRSF14), HveB (nectin 2), and HveC (nectin 1) have been shown to mediate the entry of alphaherpesviruses. Our findings showed that the alphaherpesvirus equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) efficiently entered and replicated in CHO-K1 cells that lack the entry receptors HveA, HveB, and HveC, demonstrating that EHV-1 utilizes a unique entry receptor....

Herpesvirus B (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1) has been implicated as the cause of approximately 40 cases of meningoencephalitis affecting persons in direct or indirect contact with laboratory macaques. However, the threat of herpesvirus B in nonlaboratory settings worldwide remains to be addressed. We investigated the potential for exposure to herpesvirus B in workers at a "monkey forest" (a tem...
