Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the leading cause of congenital viral infection and
mental retardation. HCMV infection, while causing asymptomatic infections in most …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) persists as a sub-clinical, lifelong infection in the human
host which is maintained at least in part by its carriage in the absence of detectable …

The cellular sites and mechanisms of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) latency are still
poorly defined. Although evidence suggests that peripheral blood monocytes are one site of …

We have investigated the interaction of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) with cultured primary
granulocyte-macrophage progenitors, a suspected natural site of viral latency, and have …

Following infection with cytomegalovirus, human granulocyte-macrophage progenitors carry
the viral genome but fail to support productive replication. Viral transcripts arise from a …

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a human herpesvirus of the subfamily Alphaherpesviridae and
the causative agent of varicella, the result of primary VZV infection of a susceptible host. VZV …

Primary infection of healthy individuals with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is usually
asymptomatic and results in the establishment of a lifelong latent infection of the host …

The susceptibility of hematopoietic progenitor cells to infection by human cytomegalovirus
(HCMV) was investigated using several strains of HCMV, including the recombinant strain …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a frequent cause of major disease following primary
infection or reactivation from latency in immunocompromised patients. Infection of non …

BACKGROUND: A poor correlation between cytomegalovirus (CMV) seroreactivity and the
risk of CMV transmission prompted an investigation of the presence of CMV DNA in …
