Introduction: Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2)  is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted infection (STI) The prevalence of HSV-2 infection is increasing in many populations and geographic areas . Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the cause of most genital herpes and is almost always sexually transmitted. Most HSV-2 infections are consequently expected to occur after the onset of sexua...

The replication of herpes simplex virus type I and herpes simplex virus type 2 was studied in two isolated hamster cell lines. These lines developed after being treated with herpes simplex virus type 2 inactivated with 7,~2-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene. One cell line that developed, HDC-22, had a hypodiploid chromosome number and was missing a D-group chromosome. Growth studies revealed that this ...

objective herpes simplex virus (hsv), one of the most common sexually transmitted disease is a worldwide .this study aimed to prevalence of herpes simplex virus of pregnancy in iran. methods: we searched pubmed, scopus, ovid, science direct and national databases were searched: magiran, iranmedex and science information database (sid) up to october 2015.eventually, we included five studies that...

background: herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) is highly prevalent and major cause of genital herpes in humans. the life-long nature of infection and the increasing prevalence of genital herpes imply that vaccination is the best strategy for controlling the spread of infection and limiting hsv disease. hsv glycoprotein d (gd) is one of the most important viral immunogen which has an essential ...

background and aims: herpes simplex virus (hsv) is responsible for several significant human viral diseases, with severity ranging from subclinical to fatal infection. herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv2) infections are more commonly seen in association with the genitalia and surrounding areas, and can be transmitted to newborns during childbirth. generalized infections in newborns are also predo...

herpes simplex virus type 1 (hsv-1) with a worldwide distribution has been reported in all human populations, resulting in a clinical spectrum of infections. although hsv type 2 (hsv-2) is known as the most common cause of genital herpes, an increasing number of cases with genital herpes are caused by hsv-1. the present study aimed to discuss the changes in the epidemiology of hsv-1 infection i...

background: human pathogens that can cause infertility may also affect sperm count and quality. viral infections can be considered as direct and/or indirect cause of male factor infertility. objective: our goal was to investigate the prevalence of herpes simplex virus in the semen of infertile men attending the avicenna infertility clinic, and to compare it with the herpes virus serology result...

We prepared mouse hybrid cell lines which produced antibodies against herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 nucleocapsids. Cell lines 1D4 and 3E1, respectively, secreted immunoglobulin G1 herpes simplex virus type 1 and immunoglobulin G1 herpes simplex virus type 2 antibodies which immunoprecipitated proteins designated p40 and p45 from homologous nucleocapsid preparations but precipitated no prote...
