Association of herpesvirus with lung disorder questioned
Contrary to the results of a recent U.S. study, investigators in Japan found no association between a herpesvirus infection and a potentially life-threatening form of high blood pressure, as reported in the March 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. The researchers reported that they were not able to detect human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8), also known as the Kap...Topical treatment shown to inhibit HIV and herpes simplex virus infection
Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers demonstrated that a gel applied in the vagina provides protection from both the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the herpes simplex Virus. The study, presented at the 12th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, is the first to show that a gel can retain anti-viral activity within the human vagina. The study, which was fund...Live vaccines more effective against horse herpes virus
Following the recent deadly outbreak of equine herpes virus at Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, a Cornell University virologist says his preliminary research indicates that vaccines containing weakened live viruses, called modified live vaccines (MLV), appear to be more effective in preventing horse herpes than other more widely used vaccines. "It's important that people know t...Achilles heel of the herpes virus possibly found
It's one of the most common viruses in America, and one that causes the most guilt and shame. It can get inside almost any kind of human cell, reproduce in vast numbers, and linger for years in the body, causing everything from recurrent genital blisters to sores around the mouth. Its complications can kill, and it may increase susceptibility to many nerve and brain disorders. But until no...Landmark discovery of a Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus receptor
Researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have identified a critical human cell surface molecule involved in infection by Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV), the virus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma and certain forms of lymphoma. Kaposi's sarcoma is a major cancer associated with HIV/AIDS, and it typical...HSVision Molecular Beacon Detection Module Rapidly Detects Herpes Simplex Virus DNA

Researchers say transmission of genital herpes to others is the chief concern in patients with the virus.However a new study shows //the drug valacyclovir may significantly reduce the spread of the genital herpes virus. Researchers studied more than 1,400 heterosexual couples. In each case, one partner was diagnosed with type 2 herpes and the other was susceptible to the virus. Type 2 her...Cancer Causing Herpes Virus At Last May Have A Cure
Twin studies in the Journal Of Clinical Investigations show that certain form of herpes virus called Kaposi sarcoma– // associated herpes virus (KSHV) that can cause cancer, may be treated with by glycyrrhizic acid (GA) for total recovery. KSHV is a form of herpes virus that can cause cancer by lying suppressed in the infected cells of the affected person. Numerous vaccines are being de...Treating Latent Herpes With Licorice
Most viruses, including herpes, cause both active infections and also hide within the body for long periods of time, causing no immediate infection // but can strike again whenever resistance is lowered. The latent infections thus pose repeated problems for those infected. Based on findings of a recent study researchers say a compound found in licorice is showing promise as a treatment f...Experts Insist That Neonatal Herpes Be Reported Regularly
Experts are of the opinion that infection of newborns with herpes type 1 and 2 should be routinely reported to the authorities. Currently this is not an established procedure in most cases. In a commentary published in the September issue of the // journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases, researchers in herpes infections, from University of Washington Center for AIDS and STD in Seattle,...Herpes Simplex Virus HSV 1 IgG II
