Human alphaherpesviruses (αHHV)—herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)—infect mucosal epithelial cells, establish a lifelong latent infection of sensory neurons, and reactivate intermittingly to cause recrudescent disease. Although chronic αHHV infections ...
Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) is a significantly widespread viral pathogen causing recurrent infections that are currently incurable despite available treatment protocols. Studies have highlighted the potential of antimicrobial peptides sourced from Vespula lewisii venom, particularly those belongin...

This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro action of host defense peptides against Human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HHV-1) replication. Vero cell monolayers were infected with HHV-1 TCID50 and treated with different concentrations of IDR-1018 and DJK-6. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT method...
BoHV-5 causes non-suppurative meningoencephalitis in calve whereas encephalitis caused by BoHV-1 has been occasionally reported. As an initial step to understand the biology of both BoHV types in neural cells, undifferentiated SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells were infected with BoHV-1 strains ...
Thus, it is evident that BoHV-5 strains have growth advantages in undifferentiated neural cells compared with BoHV-1. This in vitro model might be useful to analyze the neuropathogenic potential of bovine alphaherpesviruses.Rosales, Juan JoseVerna, AndreaMarin, MaiaPerez, Sandra...
