Herpes 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 کاملOptimal infection strategies : should macroparasites hedge their bets ?
Despite considerable research into the mechanisms that lead to the persistence of parasites, the huge diversity of macroparasite transmission strategies observed both within and among species has yet to be explained. This may be because questions of parasite persistence are typically addressed at the population level, even though observed transmission rates are determined by infection events at...
متن کاملEpigenetic Switching: Bacteria Hedge Bets about Staying or Moving
Growing populations of Bacillus subtilis exhibit bistability: motile cells co-exist with long chains of sessile cells. An epigenetic switch has been characterized that controls the transition between the two cell types.
متن کاملYeast Survive by Hedging Their Bets
A new experimental approach reveals a bet hedging strategy in unstressed, clonal yeast cells, whereby they adopt a range of growth states that correlate with expression of a trehalose-synthesis regulator and predict resistance to future stress.
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...
