Safe vaccine to combat herpes infections
The unpleasant and painful sores, and infection of newborn babies caused by the genital herpes virus could soon be a thing of the past according to Dr Julian Hickling, who is presenting results from Xenova Research Ltd today, Tuesday 8 April 2003, to the Society for General Microbiology's Spring Meeting in Edinburgh. "The challenge is trying... view more... (2003-04-02)
Deadly rugby virus spreads in sumo wrestlers
Rugby players may get more than just the ball out of a scrum - herpes virus can cause a skin disease called "scrumpox" and it spreads through physical contact. view more (2008-09-29)
Study shows how herpes infects cornea, evades immune cells
Herpes virus has an unusual strategy for infecting cornea cells that may also explain how it evades the immune system, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine. view more (2006-09-26)
Knowledge of infection may prevent spread of herpes virus
A new study suggests that the risk of transmitting the virus that causes most cases of genital herpes could be cut in half by more testing and informing sexual partners of infection. The study is published in the July 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2006-05-31)
Van Andel Institute Study Rules Out Transcriptional Coactivators as Useful Herpes Antiviral Drug Targets
Researchers at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) have determined that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) does not require transcriptional coactivators for viral gene expression early in the infection process. The finding is significant in determining that, in contradiction to earlier models, chemical inhibitors of these cellular proteins... view more... (2009-03-26)
Cold sore virus increasing cause of genital herpes and 'strongly associated' with early start to sex
Genital herpes due to HSV-1 - the herpes simplex virus primarily associated with cold sores on the mouth - is strongly associated with an early start to sex, suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections. And its prevalence is increasing, say the authors. The findings are based on blood samples and details of sexual behaviour from 869... view more... (2002-09-30)
Rates of genital herpes infections rise
Genital infections with Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) have risen in western Scotland over the last 15 years, particularly among young women, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-06-05)
Herpes: Scientists find cellular process that fights virus
Scientists have discovered a new way for our immune system to combat the elusive virus responsible for cold sores: Type 1 herpes simplex (HSV-1). As reported in the advance online edition of Nature Immunology, a group of virus hunters from the Université de Montréal, in collaboration with American colleagues, have identified a... view more...

Herpes viruses hedge their bets: latency boosts survival
Herpes viruses have two infectious phases: one just after infecting a new host, and one years or decades later when they reactivate. view more (2002-10-31)
New study pinpoints unique genetic susceptibility for viral encephalitis
In the study, the researchers suggest that herpes simplex encephalitis may reflect a single gene immunodeficiency that confers susceptibility to herpes simplex virus, an idea that contrasts with the prevailing scientific theory of how genes work to make people vulnerable to infections. view more (2006-09-18)
Research holds promise for herpes vaccine
A study by a Montana State University researcher suggests a new avenue for developing a vaccine against genital herpes and other diseases caused by herpes simplex viruses. view more (2006-10-16)
Herpes drug inhibits HIV in patients infected with both viruses
Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), McGill University and other institutions have discovered how a simple antiviral drug developed decades ago suppresses HIV in patients who are also infected with herpes. view more (2008-09-16)
Slide Projector Kills Herpes Simplex Virus
A lot of people suffer from herpes for all their lives. The herpes simplex virus (Type 1) constantly inhabits the organism revealing its presence from time to time. Once highly active anti- herpes drugs were developed (acyclovir and phosofonoacetic acids), the virus responded with new forms resistant to theses drugs. The Belorus researchers from... view more...

OHSU finds association between Epstein-Barr virus, inflammatory diseases of the mouth
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's School of Dentistry (www.ohsu.edu/sod) have found that a significant percentage of dental patients with the inflammatory diseases irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis also have the Epstein-Barr virus. view more (2008-11-11)
Modified herpes virus keeps arteries 'free-flowing' following procedures
A genetically engineered herpes simplex virus, primarily known for causing cold sores, may help keep arteries "free-flowing" in the weeks following angioplasty or stent placement for patients, according to research published early in the online edition of PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of... view more...

Shingles raises risk of stroke by 30 percent or more in adults
Adults with shingles were about 30 percent more likely to have a stroke during a one-year follow-up than adults without shingles, in a study reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2009-10-09)
Mice lacking key immune component still control chronic viral infections
Despite lack of a key component of the immune system, a line of genetically engineered mice can control chronic herpes virus infections, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found. view more (2006-05-30)
Cold sore virus might play role in Alzheimer's disease
A gene known to be a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease puts out the welcome mat for the virus that causes cold sores, allowing the virus to be more active in the brain compared to other forms of the gene. view more (2007-01-04)
Jefferson researchers' discovery may change thinking on how viruses invade the brain
A molecule thought crucial to ferrying the deadly rabies virus into the brain, where it eventually kills, apparently isn't. view more (2007-04-20)
Potential new herpes therapy studied
A new therapy being developed at the University of Florida could, in time, produce another weapon for the fight against herpes. view more (2009-02-04)
