Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a member of an ancient family of viruses (Herpesviridae),
has acquired the capacity to maintain a lifelong persistent infection within an …

Abstract Development of a human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) vaccine is a Tier 1 priority by the
National Institutes of Medicine, as HCMV is the most common congenital infection globally …

Congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection has long been recognized as a threat
to the developing fetus, even though studies have shown that only a subset of congenital …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a highly species-specific virus that has co-evolved with its host
over millions of years and thus restricting cross-species infection. To examine the extent to …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a leading viral cause of congenital infections in the
central nervous system (CNS) and may result in severe long-term sequelae. High rates of …

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) are highly adapted to their host species resulting in strict
species specificity. Hence, in vivo examination of all aspects of CMV biology employs animal …

The natural history of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is inextricably associated with
mucosal surfaces. The vast preponderance of primary infections occur following mucosal …

Abstract e last few years have witnessed significant expansion of the Non-Human-Primate
(NHP) models of CMV persistence and pathogenesis. Progress in the utilization of the NHP …

Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) are highly species-specific due to millennia of co-evolution and
adaptation to their host, with no successful experimental cross-species infection in primates …
