background: herpes virus group can persist in the latent form in the body, pneumocystis jerovecii, on the other hand, is a fungus which is ubiquitous in the respiratory tract of mammals, with 90% of adult human beings possessing antibodies to this organism. concomitant presence of different microorganisms, may result in one microorganism altering the activity of another. objectives: to determin...

herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes a latent infection in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. during latent infection, virus genome exhibit limited transcription, with the hsv lats consistently detected in latency infected ganaglia. following ocular infection viral latency develops in the trigeminal ganglia. in this study pcr has been used for detection of hsv-1 nucli...

background and aims: the latency-associated transcript (lat) transcribed by latent herpes simplex virus type-1 in neuron cells are able to influence their host cell pathways. while the most of previous studies were focused on anti-apoptotic effects of lat, our investigation is making an effort to explore lat potency on cell cycle pathway in neuroblastoma cell lines. methods: the evaluation of l...

  Herpes simplex virus type 1 establishes a latent infection in the peripheral nervous system following primary infection. During latent infection, virus genome exhibit limited transcription, with the HSV LATs consistently detected in latency infected ganaglia. Following ocular infection viral latency develops in the trigeminal ganglia. In this study PCR has been used for detection of HSV-1 nuc...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 is a neurotropic herpesvirus that establishes latency within sensory neurones. Following primary infection, the virus replicates productively within mucosal epithelial cells and enters sensory neurones via nerve termini. The virus is then transported to neuronal cell bodies where latency can be established. Periodically, the virus can reactivate to resume its normal ...

Herpes simplex virus is most probably maintained in the ganglion neurons of the peripheral nervous system of humans in a latent form that can reactivate to produce recurrent disease. As an approximation of this cell-virus interaction, we have constructed a herpes simplex virus latency in vitro model system using human fetus sensory neurons as the host cell. Human fetus neurons were characterize...
