In order to gain a better perspective on the true variability of varicella–zoster virus (VZV) and to catalogue the location and number of differences, 11 new complete genome sequences were compared with those previously in the public domain (18 complete genomes in total). Three of the newly sequenced genomes were derived from a single strain in order to assess variations that can occur during serial...
The β-herpesviruses cause considerable morbidity in immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant patients. Most notably within this group is human cytomegalovirus, although HHV-6 and -7 are a growing concern. Identifying HHV-6 and -7 as the cause of post-transplant illness can be challenging due to high seroprevalence and latency properties associated with these human herpesviruses. We have developed...
The (-) enantiomer of 3'-thiacytidine (lamivudine) has been found to be a potent inhibitor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication. Mutation of methionine to valine or isoleucine at the YMDD (tyrosine, methionine, aspartate, aspartate) motif of the HIV reverse transcriptase has been shown to be responsible for lamivudine resistance in HIV. The hepadnaviruses also...
