The role of natural killer cells in control of varicella zoster virus infection
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a globally important virus with significant health and economic impacts. Although primary VZV infection is often perceived as a mild childhood illness, VZV infection is lifelong and reactivation of the latent virus in the elderly and immunocompromised population …

Seroepidemiologic, Laboratory and Diagnostic Studies on the Spread of Some Human Herpesvirus Infections in Northeast Bulgaria /// Сероепидемиологични и лабораторно диагностични проучвания върху разпространението на някои човешки херпесни вирусни инфекции в Севеоизточна България
… във Варненски и Добрички региони (HSV1, HSV2, VZV, HCMV, EBV). Средната серопозитивност спрямо HSV1 е 65,60 - 82,65 процента спрямо HCMV - 64,40 - 69,87 процента, спрямо EBV 44,63 - 60,83 процента. Доказахме увеличаване процента на серопозитивните лица с напредване на възрастта. Потвърдихме …

Development of protein microarrays for the investigation of host-pathogen interactions
Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV) is a human herpesvirus (causing chickenpox and shingles upon reactivation) whose diagnosis is particularly important in pregnancy and immunocompromised patients. Current sérodiagnostic assays are either based on crude whole cell lysates or glycoprotein preparations …

Economic evaluations of vaccines in Canada: Exploring the epidemiologic and economic impact of chickenpox vaccine strategies in Canada using an agent-based model
… disease caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which can reactivate as shingles in adulthood. While natural waning of VZV cell-mediated immunity (CMI) can lead to shingles reactivation, one theory posits contact with a shingles or chickenpox case may boost an individual’s VZV-CMI (i.e. …

DISSECTION OF HOST-VIRUS INTERACTIONS IN THE HUMAN CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
… Monkeypox virus (MPXV), Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and Influenza A viruses (IAV). Our comparative virology approach demonstrated a susceptibility and permissiveness to herpesvirus infection, while in contrast neurons did not show any productive infection to either IAV or MPXV. By developing a …

Co-Infection in HIV positive patients with retinitis: A case series of dual positive intraocular fluid polymerase chain reaction
… all 10 cases whilst the additional pathogen was VZV in 6 cases, Toxoplasma gondii in 3 cases and HSV in 1 case. Conclusions PCR analysis of ocular fluids is important in this clinical scenario since more than one pathogen may be present and clinically relevant. Clinicians should be aware of this …
