Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a herpesvirus that infects~ 60% of adults in developed
countries and more than 90% in developing countries. Usually, it is controlled by a vigorous …

Following primary infection, human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes lifelong latency
and periodically reactivates without causing symptoms in healthy individuals. In the absence …

A systematic quantitative analysis of temporal changes in host and viral proteins throughout
the course of a productive infection could provide dynamic insights into virus-host …

The genetic content of wild-type human cytomegalovirus was investigated by sequencing
the 235 645 bp genome of a low passage strain (Merlin). Substantial regions of the genome …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a herpes virus that infects and is carried by 70–100% of
the world's population. During its evolution, this virus has developed mechanisms that allow …

The coordinated activities of innate and adaptive immunity are critical for effective protection
against viruses. To counter this, some viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to …

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the most important infection in the immunocompromized
host even in the era of effective therapy. CMV is usually acquired early in life and can be …

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the major infectious cause of birth defects as well
as an important opportunistic pathogen. Individuals infected with CMV mount a strong …

Coexistence of viruses and their hosts imposes an evolutionary pressure on both the virus
and the host immune system. On the one hand, the host has developed an immune system …

The Bio-Dictionary-based Gene Finder was used to reassess the coding potential of the
AD169 laboratory strain of human cytomegalovirus and sequences in the Toledo strain that …
