Dengue viruses – an overview
Dengue viruses (DENVs) cause the most common arthropod-borne viral disease in man with 50-100 million infections per year. Because of the lack of a vaccine and antiviral drugs, the sole measure of control is limiting the Aedes mosquito vectors. DENV infection can be asymptomatic or a self-limited, acute febrile disease ranging in severity. The classical form of dengue fever (DF) is characterize...
متن کاملCell Transformation by RNA Viruses: An Overview
Studies of oncogenic viruses have made seminal contributions to the molecular biology of cancer. Key discoveries include the identification of viral oncogenes and cellular proto-oncogenes, elucidation of signal transduction pathways, and identification of tumor suppressor genes. The origins of cancer virology began almost exactly one hundred years ago with the discovery of avian sarcoma and acu...
متن کاملComplement Evasion Strategies of Viruses: An Overview
Being a major first line of immune defense, the complement system keeps a constant vigil against viruses. Its ability to recognize large panoply of viruses and virus-infected cells, and trigger the effector pathways, results in neutralization of viruses and killing of the infected cells. This selection pressure exerted by complement on viruses has made them evolve a multitude of countermeasures...
متن کاملHerpes viruses hedge their bets.
Static latency is the hallmark of all herpes viruses. The varicella zoster virus, for instance, causes varicella (chickenpox), and after a latent phase of between 5 and 40 years, it can give rise to herpes zoster (shingles). This latency and the subsequent reactivation has intrigued and puzzled virologists. Although several factors have been suggested, it is unknown what triggers reactivation. ...
متن کاملHerpes Simplex and Pseudorabies Viruses
many must be the result of using impure systems and of secondary effects or else they are the product of a multiplicity of phenomena with similar end results. Dr. Vilcek is a splitter; he gives the impression that no unifying principle exists in the interferon system, but that there are several physically diverse interferons produced by the same cell and that cells may be induced to produce the...
