How is herpes simplex virus type 2 transmitted?

In sixth place - Herpes simplex virus type 2
Herpes simplex virus type 2 is transmitted almost exclusively through intimate relations. Is responsible for genital herpes.

What is cytomegalovirus?

On the 8th place - Cytomegalovirus
Cytomegalovirus is also a member of the Herpesviridae family.
It is also called human herpesvirus type 5.

Scientists develop vaccine to protect young elephants from potentially lethal herpesvirus http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TNY4qF #Elephants #Conservation #WildlifeProtection #Vaccines #Herpesvirus
Breakthrough results from elephant herpesvirus trial find vaccine to be safe

The world’s first vaccine trial against elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) – a leading cause of death in young Asian elephants – is safe and triggers a strong virus-fighting immune response, according to an international team led by the University of Surrey, Chester Zoo and the Animal and Plant Health Agency.

How many people are infected with the herpes simplex virus?

In fifth place - Herpes simplex virus of the first type.
About 67% of people over the age of 50 are infected with this virus.

Die HZI-Forscher Luka Cicin-Sain und Henning Jacobsen entwickeln eine Impfstofftechnologie, die Auffrischungsimpfungen überflüssig machen soll. Mithilfe eines #Herpesvirus aus Mäusen soll zunächst langanhaltender Schutz gegen den Atemwegserreger #RSV erreicht werden. Sat1 berichtet.

VIDEO | Auffrischungsimpfungen bald überflüssig? Forschende aus Braunschweig arbeiten an neuer Technologie - SAT.1 REGIONAL

Forschende am Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung in Braunschweig (Niedersachsen) arbeiten an einer neuer Impfstoff-Technologie, die Auffrischungsimpfungen künftig überflüssig machen soll. Das könnte ein echter Gamechanger sein, denn bislang muss ein vollständiger Impfschutz häufig erst über mehrere Impfdosen und damit Wochen oder Monate aufgebaut werden. Und weil er mit der Zeit an Wirksamkeit verliert, mussten bisher auch noch Auffrischungsimpfungen stattfinden.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Solving The Cold Sore Mystery Nothing worse than a cold sore, a fever blister, blossoming on your lip the day of your big event. Nearly all of us become infected with the herpes virus early in life during almost unnoticeable infections, but what makes the virus bloom. Now University of Virginia microbiologists have identified the key to herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) reactivation. What awakens this sleeping villain is the viral protein UL12.5. It appears and triggers herpes reanimation just before it also turns on an antiviral immune response. The latter apparently comes too little too late. Now that UL12.5 is identified as the reactivation trigger, it becomes a target for therapy for preventing those embarrassing outbreaks. This same mechanism that triggers oral herpes may also underlie the reactivation of genital herpes. Since latent herpes infections in both parts of the body are lifelong infections, stopping reactivation could have major implications for millions of people. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2413965122 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-02-cold-sore-discovery-unknown-trigger.html #herpesvirus #hsv1 #hsv2 #oral #genital #feverblisters #ul125"

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Head Trauma-Activated Viruses Lead To Dementia Repetitive head trauma activates latent viruses that, in turn, create the neurologic damage characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s dementia. This the conclusion from studies by Boston’s Tuft’s University bioengineers just published in the journal ScienceSignaling. Using a 3D in vitro human brain model, their studies show that latent or sleeping herpes simplex virus type 1 in brain tissue is reactivated into life by repeated brain trauma. This now active virus then creates neuroinflammation with accumulation of the debris found in cases of Alzheimer’s dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, namely beta amyloid and phosphorylated tau. The takeaway: repeat blows to your head or to the heads of your children during sports contests like football, trigger a herpes virus induced degeneration of brain tissue and dementia. Avoid head trauma and, when you can’t, wear protective head gear. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.ado6430

Félicitations à @OlivierSupplisson pour sa magnifique analyse #spatiotemporelle de la #séroprévalence des #herpesvirus (#HSV1, #HSV2, #VZV, #EBV, et #CMV) en #france.

Cet article combine des données massives de #CERBA (>300 000 sérologies) avec de magnifiques #modèles #gaussiens #latents dans #R-INLA !

Ce travail a été réalisé en collaboration avec le centre national de référence #CNR des herpèsvirus.
