Thus, these viruses may sacrifice inherent replicative capacity in the short term to allow persistent viral replication in the long term. Further advancement of therapeutic regimens and ...
Genital herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections are frequently asymptomatic or undiagnosed, but more than half the US population is seropositive for HSV, and about one-fifth are positive for HSV-2.
If the clinical sample contains viable virus, cytopathic effects due to the herpes virus replication occur after several days, signaling the recovery of HSV-1/2 and VZV from the sample.
Our lab focuses primarily on drug development, specifically on novel small-molecule inhibitors of herpes simplex virus replication. We are investigating their structure-activity relationships, their ...
