Many animal species commonly maintained in a research setting are susceptible to natural infections with herpesviruses (e.g., saimiriine herpesvirus 1 and 2, suid herpesvirus 1, porcine lymphotrophic herpesvirus 1). While few animal herpesviruses are proven zoonotic agents, there is great concern t...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) belongs to the β-herpesvirus subfamily. HCMV inhibits virus replication and release by suppressing its own gene expression, thereby achieving latent infection. Meanwhile, the virus is ready to reactivate upon appropriate stimulation. The ability of HCMV to establish a ...
Kaposi sarcoma, a cancer caused by a sexually transmitted herpesvirus, appears as painless, red to purple, raised patches on the skin. It occurs mainly in men who have sex with men. Kaposi Sarcoma (AIDS-Associated) Image Image courtesy of Sol Silverman, Jr., via the Pu...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human gamma-herpesvirus, was the first virus linked causally with a human tumor, following its identification in 1964 by Epstein, Barr, and Achong in a common childhood cancer in equatorial Africa named after Burkitt (Burkitt’s lymphoma, or BL), who first descri...
Humancytomegalovirusis generally acquired as a clinically silent infection, infrequently accompanied by a mononucleosis-like syndrome. Thisherpesvirusremains with the host for life and is a medically significant opportunist in two settings: (1)transplacental transmissionleading to intrauterine infection and tr...
